    Robert, congratulation on becoming leut. good luck in that job, and our dept has incorparted everyone goes home last year. it's a good program. we had added several policies to our dept. one is no driver is to back up with out a spotter, no appart. moves without everyone being seat belted in and all turnout gear is to be put on before appart. is moved of course except scba. I received the position of first asst chief for the 18th year and continue to be training officer along with the regular depart. office of foriegn relief and i maintain all scba equipment and my wife is still the appart. driver and pump operator and ems director for the depart. just got in from a one vehicle rollover with ejection, used the helicopter. landed the bird on the roadway shutting down the east and west bound lanes of route 6 main route running through the district. the family is fine. glad to here you and your family is doing well.
