    Thanks for responding to the NFF Memorial Post. The Saturday and Sunday events are Department Dress Attire or "Dressy" clothes. I will post more as the time draws near. I am looking at lodging in the Gettysburg area for all of us that wish to attend. Also, That Friday night we will have an informal "meet and greet" session for the FFN members attending with a FFN party on Saturday.

    Phil, thanks for reading my blog, and the nice comment. I'm really OK with the way the run went down. Actually, I am glad I was there to give some kindness to the man that caused the death. I think maybe if I had gotten into this job when I was younger, I may not have been able to handle it so well...but everything happens at the right time, doesn't it?
