Title: Congratulations Captain
Post by: Jeff on January 24, 2008, 09:26:05 PM
Ya know, I plum forget to do things sometimes, and in this case, I did it again. Some of us knew about this, but I wanted to make a bigger announcement here. Everybody knows we have a Captain. He's the Forestry Forum's Captain and we're proud as punch of him. This last year he's not been on as much as he wanted to be due to going to paramedics school. Well, as we all have come to know, Captain goes all out in everything he does and this time was no different.  :)

Congratulations Captain for graduating as the Valedictorian of the Class.  We are mighty proud of you. smiley_scholar smiley_scholar :)

Well, why ain't I surprised about that? ::)  I've spent a bit of time with Cap'n Comeback, and I'll just bet he was teaching the instructors a thing or two, before it was over.  I don't think I have ever met anybody that young with that much knowledge.  I also don't think I've ever met anybody that old with that much energy.  I figger he must be some sort of mutant, or something like that. ::)  At any rate, I'm really priviledged to count him among my friends. :)

Thanks to all.  Life is beginning to return to normal, Mrs Captain is seeming less frazzled, and customer promises are now being kept.  I survived only because of a great amount of support at home for the duration of the program.

Thanks again,

Captain

Congrats Craig,
                           We met at the Paul Bunyan Fest. a couple years ago.  Good job on adding to your skill set.

I have a buddy who's been EMS'ing his whole life.  Seen a lot of ugly.  Stories he can tell can make you shiver for how stupid and careless folks can be.

I usually try to get him to stop by when I'm doing something potentially .......'risky' cuz he'd "know what to do".

You already had a "know what to do" attitude, and you've added to it now with a "know what to do when it hits the fan!"
