Yes. They had a good turnout from the Friendship community. It was nice to meet the three other guys hurt in the collapse.

Bruce - Please re-send the dates. I'm sure they're so buried in my e-mail that I'll never find them til spring.

I thought I might see you last night at Niagara Active where I taught Highway Safety.

Stay safe. Train often.
