Weren't you at A&m about two yrs ago. I think I had several classes with you. You were with a group of 4 or 5 if i remember. You are over 6 ft right?. You got stuck behind me on several hose lines at the school. If you are not the person I am thinking of you have a twin out there.

Thanks for checking in. It's been great. I haven't been this happy in a long time.
As far as the ice cream goes, I started volunteering back in Aug 2007 and usually worked one shift every weekend. I ALWAYS brought in cake. The guys said that the new guy has to get supper on his first shift; I brought in steaks and baked potatoes with an ice cream chaser. That went over big! Thanks!
Stay safe,
Blaine
