    Hi Bob,

    I'm suprised your the first one to make a crack about it. I head up a group we have at our FD called "The Firehouse Gang". We do fire & life safety education through characterization, puppets, magic, & music. Believe me, that picture looks better than my alter ego Ken.

    No, no, I did'nt take it wrong. Believe me I take more crap from the guys right here at my department. After 35 years in the fire service my skin is alot thicker than that. No worries, bro.

    Hi Bob, Thanks for the friend invite. Sorry for the delay, but I just got the chance to check out your page. I'm still making formations, Army Reserves, 21 years now and still going. I just found out I made the promotion list, so I'll be staying for at least another 2-3 years. Currently overseas, and looking forward to getting home in a couple months.
    Thanks for your service in both, the military and fire service. What branch were you in? Stay safe and enjoy your retirement. Bill

    Not a problem. I'll keep my eye out for any coins I can find. Do you collect patches as well?
