Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

I retired from the La Crosse Fire Department on December 13,2007 after 32 plus years of service. During the last 14 years I was Division Chief Of Training for the Department. Our department consists of 95 career firefighters which are split into three shifts. Probably my most memorable event during my career was working with the Secret Service during President Bushes 2006 presidential campaign. It was during his visit to Copeland Park that I was able to meet him and have a picture taken with him shaking my hand. ( And no he didn't ask for advice) I did ask him to continue support for the Fire Service and he acknowledge to me that he would. Well its been a great experience in working with the committee to setup allofur class reunions.I would expect a really good turnout for our 50th.Hope all of you can make it. Take Care

Hi Patty, sorry to hear you have to cancel but I understand. The last two years have been very difficult to say the least. We lost Pat Berger a few months ago and he had contracted the Covid in November 2020. I had been in contact with him over the last few months of his life. Weather it was the Covid or the Brain Tumor that killed him it was to bad since he was looking so forward to the reunion.,Take care our 55th will be just around the corner and I hope you can make it then.
