The mayor

Yesterday, we took the boys and girl to meet the mayor of Emporia - Jim Kessler.Actually, we took the boys and girl to tour the recently renovated Fire Station #2. We didn't realize we'd get to hob knob with all of the civic leaders of Emporia at the same time! We also got to tour the fire station, go into a fire truck and meet some fire fighters. We also got to learn about a possible career path for our boys - fire fighter with paramedic training. Sandy and I are always on the look out for possible careers for the boys and girl. We grilled the fire fighters with all sorts of questions about necessary training and qualifications, work schedule, job security, etc.We learned a lot AND it was a fun time for all with the Emporia Fire Dept.
