Hey there Brian, Nice page.

Brian, The email you responded to from the lady in England... here's what I just posted... just my thoughts brother. Mike

Annie, Strictly out of curiosity, are you serving this guy with divorce papers, is he in trouble or something else? If I was trying to not be found, it sure would suck to have someone within the FFN rat you out if it was not warranted. Not that your post infers that there is anything negative about your search but the vagueness makes me suspicious... I would caution anyone immediately having the desire to provide someone with any information about them unless you had the direct permission from that person. I think the appropriate way to handle this would be to make contact with the person, advise them of this email and let them handle it. This should be handled no different than someone calling the fire station and asking for someone's home number. Would you give that out so freely? I don't think so...

Don't ever think your the only one. Thank god for my friendship with Engine 618, a really cool guy back in Rhode Island who alerted me immediately that some of the picture posts I had group loaded into my photos and the album that was created contained photos that were from a call that should not have been posted. I was really tired, multi-tasking and finally hit the sack, but I had asked another FFN member if they could take a look at the photos and let me know if anything needed to be deleted, just in case. When I awoke later that morning, I had received an email saying that everything looked ok. Luckily in less that 16 hours I was notified of the error and corrected it immediately. The photos have been removed permanently. The lesson I learned was no more group photo sends. Thank god I had this guy watching my back. ms

If you are ever coming back to the area, let us know. We'd love to get a chance for a face to face. I would send you a PM to give you our address and phone number or we could agree to meet as like Elias brothers or something.
I'm sure not much has changed since the last time you were here accept that is is a lot greener since the town tried to bun down.
Thank you for adding me to your friends list. Hope you have a terrific weekend. Be safe.

Yes sir, that is the name. We are just a few miles from it and Steve is working Range Control from April to December so you can get in touch with him there if you miss us here at home.

We also both belong to Fire Link and Emergency and Disaster Responders if you go to either of those places.

Hope you have a terrific weekend and be safe.

Hi Brian! Yes, it is a small world! Ft. McClellan has changed a lot since you were last here. It's a shame they closed it, but we are so fortunate to have been able to utilize the buildings and COBRA for first responder training! You should come back for a visit and take in some great training!!
