    Your welcome! I enjoy reading your material, it's been very educational. It's my hope that more members would take the time, and review the more serious lessons that are provided.

    Thanks for the compliment(s). Though there will be those that find them abrasive or insulting, as the (very versatile) saying goes: You can always tell a volunteer firefighter, you just can't tell him much.
    Stay safe,

    Years ago I was told that if you don't acknowledge EVERYBODY, then don't acknowledge ANYBODY. I should have gone on longer and added the rest. You have a great site and there was nothing about the names on there other than the ones I hurriedly typed in in an effort to get that post out. Sorry.

    Elmer retired in 1993, a year before I got there. I did meet him though, great guy. I'm sorry to inform you that Elmer passed away about 5 or 6 years ago. Stay safe!
