Did you know that Harry and Linda got wed yesterday (although I don't expect that they want you to Know) but sod that They won't anyway since this is a private FB . I believe you met Linda twice here and at ?'s funeral in Ireland? How are you doing anyway? At peace after our falling out after the terrible fires of 2017 and with Harry after the beginning of lock-down, though both have taken until now ffs! Good to see George and Gorah from time to time as well! How are y'll getting along?

Multiple agencies sprang into action for a critical water-related emergency. As rivers surge with peak flows, their rapid currents demand caution. Yet, through great teamwork and collaboration, bystanders, CBFPD, CBSAR, and Careflight of the Rockies quickly came together and joined forces.
Whenever bystanders step in with CPR, our pride knows no bounds. Their bravery amid stress is truly inspiring, regardless of the outcome. Quick thinking from friends led to a life saved, underscoring the vital chain of survival. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of CPR proficiency and swift action. If you’re not CPR-trained but wish to be, we’re here to help. Let’s learn together. #CPR #Teamwork #SaveALife”
