  • Scott Runkel

    Hey Tara,
    I don't we've formally met-I mean you added me a long time ago and I never introduced myself. Where are my manors? Just wanted to say thanks for the add. I see you're a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Just wanted to say thanks also for your service to our county-I know it's not like the "real" Coast Guard but you guys do a lot of service as well. My FD has an Air Boat that we use primarily for Ice/Water rescue and when we do standby's for Crew/Rowing races up here. Anyways we always have local Coast Guard Auxilary members on the water in their own boat. It's pretty cool.
    Alright well have a great day and good luck with the Fire Service-it's such a rush!
