Wow! Small world. I went to Appleton East, graduating in 1987. How long have you been in California? I'm a lifer. I can't see myself living anywhere else. Where in Appleton did you live? I hope all is well. Take care.
Hi Sue,
I just checked out your website and went to purchase your book however the postage according to the site, to Australia is $245.00 !!!!!
Any other suggestions?
Hey Sue,
Thanks for the add and for all the kind words above. I did not make the trip to Pelco but spoke with some off the guys that did. They told me, it was amazing what Pelco did for them. I know for sure that you did make a positive difference in their lives, and to see that, made a positive change in mine. Thanks

I will be there too...so I will stop by and see you!
Sue- I am so sorry it has taken so long to get back to you about the book! November & December were so hectic and time just flew by! I did get the book and the other items you sent. Just from scanning the book it looks so wonderful! I can't wait to read them. Thanks so much for sending it to me and I will be putting up a link soon.
Sue, Thank you for the request and I am honored. It would be my extreme pleasure to answer any questions or concerns you have about our religion. Please feel free to contact me at any time for any reason what so ever. I really look forward to corresponding with you. Again, thank you.

Welcome Sue to our family at FFN. That was a nice comment that you left me thanks. Have fun be safe and again welcome from New York.
Thank you for what you do.
The public perception that firefighters are made of steel is just not the case.
Maybe we process bad stuff differently, but I feel that it affects us at some point in many different ways.
I am grateful that there are people who know and understand the emotional baggage that public servants carry.
I have been an "ear and shoulder" on many occasions since leaving an active position on the fire department.
But, it keeps the listener and the talker engaged.
Thanks again.

Hi Sue! I finally got around to updating my requests and just read your sweet note about our organization and the work I do as a chaplain. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your book looks phenomenal! I will hopefully be putting an order in for it in the next week! Keep up the great work!

I actually got it a week or two ago, but have been so busy with work, I haven't had time to respond or sit down and look through it.
A cursory look, it looks good.
Stay in touch and stay safe.
