Hi,
Yeah, my Dad called it Civil Service, not sure just what the difference is between that and DOD.
Seems like lots of people have ties to CDF. Then again, if you're the largest fire department in the nation, that would be a natural thing.
My husband flew into San Jose today and said he could see the smoke from Yosemite. Ca sure has had a crazy year for fires!

Hi Anthony:

Hi..that's ok. this Memorial site was done at the suggestion of the International Bible Society who publish the "last Call" Firefighter's bible. They may be putting something about Karen in the future publications. I didn't realize how interactive the site was at first. Many oeople want to be friends, and chat..so I chat back. If you notice on the picture slide show, I am there, and I say I am "the voice of Karen." Some see it, some don't It's okay. I answer back, Karen Lee and friends, and everybody has a little fun with it. I am doing just fine, as I am a born again Christ like Karen was, and the Lord is truly my rick and has refreshed and healed me. Dealing with the light sentence give to IC Ellreese Daniesl August 20th in Spokane Federal Court was not so easy, but it's the world we live in, unfortunately.
The Thirtymile Fire is destined to become a movie, and some talks and negotiations have been in the early stages. John Maclean and I will stay in the middke of it as writers and consultans whomever the actual movie company turns out to be.--Kathie FitzPatrick, Thirtymile Parent, Mother of Karen Lee.

Ooops a few typos. This is the second note. I am a born again Christian like Karen, and the Lord is truly my Rock and my salvation. He has refreshed me and healed me. I have been an advocate for greater wildland firefighter safety since the Thirtymile Fire. It will be a movie sometime over probably the next two years. The truth will come out eventually. God bless and take care!--Kathie FitzPatrick, the "voice" of Karen
