    well, thank u, as noted from response before, keepin a low profile, seems best to do, sort of out of the business active wise...since well one can read why.. slowly doin things, wife has cancer (but will be ok-for now)...am a F_troop rat from up north..know some from your area..but thats a diff story and verdict is still out..hearing about issues w manpower and other from 19 area york twp, aint asking if political usualy is...worked out of ups york many yrs ago as trainer,was a pilot program which failed, union did not like it..use to go to york (before emigsville), reedsville (before they split) worked from hbg hub..left co in 1990.disabled..most every one still knows me..they are retireing now (ha ha) as of age.. im 57 now..so u can see issues abound..

    i know YC well, used to live just north of reesers summit for many yrs...could cover entire county scanner wise for decades..but w new system coming (when it does) my former classmate eric bistline will still have his hands full...even loosing dispatchers left and right...scarey note.. i used to play on old truck 32....see it that scares u.. it sits in the YC fire museum now.. ha ha... 32 - community of etters fire co...the truck was lower allens and camp hills rig way.........................................back when....
