I f you have the time please stopby. And you can get the 50 cent tour. I am now retried from the department. I had 30 years on the job and retried as a captain. I am now a district trustee with the department. When time gets closer let me know if you can make it and maybe we can get together. Where abouts is your department?

The reason that I was asking is because my son and I and a few other guys from Addison are going down to Harrisbury [Shawnee National Forest] to do some deer hunting. I thought that your department might be in the area. But I checked on the map and I see that we will be east of your department.

If you are going to Harrisburg you will be about 20 Miles east of us, but I am sure you will come down I-57 which is right in the middle of our county
