Thumbs up Special Thanks

Just wanted to thank two brothers for driving 5 hours round trip to cheer up a burned up old Cav. trooper for an afternoon. I sure enjoyed the company. A big THANK YOU to xgrunt and White Oak - from my heart.

LT...does that mean you are going to grow a big gray beard and sit on the front porch in a rocking chair? Congrats, I am quite sure you will be the best Grandfather there is, just don't try to pass along your firewalking routine!

Trav , don't worry. First time I showed my daughter these burns she threw up , second daughter passed out. M y fire walking days are over - hopefully - going to the library tomorrow to get a book on fireman jokes. Sitting on the front porch sounds good , with a 12 ga. near by

Been on the fire department here for five years now and have seen my share of burn victims. Been lucky enough to never get a major burn myself. Worst one of all was a seven year old girl, skin hanging from her whole body. We air lifted her to Mayo, 20 minutes by air. Lost her mother, two sisters and a brother that night. The following year, we were doing fire prevention week for the grade schoolers and in our second class, in walks the same little girl we air lifted still wearing bandages, none of us made it through that hour without tears in our eyes. May God bless her and you John for all you have endured.
