    Hi Dennis,

    Thanks for the friend accept. Although my family and friends say I am not, I am really kind of shy. Having just joined this site, I am a little nervous about how firefighters might relate to mere wannabe's! Wish I had followed my dreams 20 years ago, but at least my brother lives my dream!

    Interestingly, you and my brother seem to have a bit more in common than firefighting. He is a Generation/Transmission Power Dispatcher for Pacific Power & Light, and Resident Firefighter for East County Fire & Rescue. He and his wife and SIX kids live in a house that doubles as a fire station. He is also a member of FFN but apparently doesn't check in very often as he has not yet accepted my friend request!

    I really ejoyed your poem, "They Fight the Devil" in Firefighter's Poems
    and wondered if you might allow me to post it in a "note" on my facebook page?

    Hope to "chat" soon.

    Hi Dennis, Now I am the one who has been AWOL! LOL I went to EMT school and didn't have any life at all while I did that and worked full time. I have to take the National Registry Exam on the 16th of this month and then I hope I'll get picked up by Rural Metro Ambulance company for starters. Do you ever visit the IACOJ website? I tend to go there more than here. They have become sort of family for me there. I go by "hotflash" there. (if that doesn't age me I don't know what does!) If you do, look me up and drop me a line. I'd still like your permission to post your poem "They Fight The Devil" on my facebook acct. I won't do it if you don't say it's okay but I really liked it. Take care and stay safe!
