First off- thanks to my sister Cathy for remembering my mother's birthday a couple days ago. She always puts others first. Yvonne and I were fortunate to attend the Scott Firefighter Climb of the Columbia Tower this past Sunday. Since I was an honoree we were treated to some insider treats by volunteers. I was proud to represent the King County Airport Firefighters team! (Who all made it to the top.) After cheering the ARFFies towards their respective climbs we met a three year old girl from Oregon who is battling a similar version of Leukemia that I have. She was having fun running around the same closed to the public areas, listening and watching the Bag pipers, - very strong and motivational. We noted that the firefighters used oxygen for their climb, but carry 60-70 pounds of gear at the same time. We took a couple of pics- sorry for the lack of quality. Bryan looks like he earned his seat, huh? today's song is just a good old love song, written by one of my favorite singer-songwriters, John Hiatt. I chose this song as it has an inspirational vibe during a Beatles break, I hope it is pleasing to the ears... Greg

Thank you for the special delivery of the team t-shirt for the upcoming "The Big Climb"! We will look smart as a team and we are a force to be reckon with!!!! :-)
Dad- we climb on the 21st. The firefighters did it this past weekend. :) Greg
Alice- you are welcome. As I was passing out shirts today some well meaning people wanted to pay for them. My answer is: Contribute $20 to someone on our team who needs some help in fund raising. Go to our team web page to donate at www.llswa.org then team "I got a fever."
Greg, oops !
Greg, we leave San Diego on Monday the 14th Love Dad and Alice
