A big Thank you to the new Chief at Northeast, Dustin Estes, and Asst Chief, Kenny Wright, for inviting the former chiefs and myself to their Christmas party. Shawn Lenderman, James Hargrove, and myself attended and had a good time visiting and eating BBQ. We all received a nice, framed certificates in honor of the hard work that had been done by us in the past. The wanted to remember all those who served before them. Thought that was a nice gesture. And we got an open invitation to come out anytime. The current officers have their hands full trying to correct mistakes from the past but their goals, morals and dedication seem to be in the right place and I have faith they will get it done and continue to grow. I'm happy to report, the brotherhood is alive and recuperating! Again, thanks for inviting me and the rest of the former chiefs.
