To all three, its been an adventure and the time has come to an end. You did what was expected and what they allowed for you to do, and you deserve the reward. In your retirement state, if you should ever have the feeling of missing the this department remember the words to the song "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles. If you cannot remember them, well here they are. Goodbye and good luck.

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all,
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall.

Did you guys go to Capt. Blackwells retirement ? If so how was it ? Did retired chiefs Nichols, Disney give a presentation ?



Stay Safe,

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend :)

Pumper 46:
To answer your question, it was nice event. No, no,no, neither Chief Disney, or Retired Chief Nichols were in attendance. Nice, huh. They may have had other plans.
