Talking Finally!!

As some of you may know, I've been trying to get hired as a full time firefighter for about a year and a half now.
I just got an offer from Morrisville FD this morning!
I start 1/2/07.
Just thought I'd share the happyness!

Re: Finally!!

Chris, I think you already know, there's more to life than money. A rich man in my mind is not necessarily a man with a lot of money or goods. Doing what one likes for a living, speaks to me of a man seeking true riches. I wished I would have thought this years ago.

Congrats and thank you for your pride, commitment and service to your community.

That's great news Chris, now, about that pint??? Except I'm going to the steaming metropolis of Fort Wayne IN on Wednesday, back Saturday, but maybe after that.

Re: Finally!!

Congratulations Chris!!!

The Morrisville FD is just down the road from us .... here in Cary.

I have heard from a volunteer firefighter out of the Parkwood team, that the guys over in Morrisville are a great, supportive bunch. I am sure that you will really enjoy working alongside them!

Good luck and by all means stay safe!

Wayne
