Weiser Rural FD history.

I spent most of today writing an email to past Weiser Rural FD Fire Chief, Darwin Adams; requesting historical data. I'll use the info Darwin researches for my book. Once again I'll make another try tomorrow to actually start formatting my books coverpage & beyond......That's all for today, Mark

My book progress.

I've been working on formatting my books coverpage, hopefully I'll finish with that today..........That's all for now, Mark

"Progress Report On My Book"

This being Good Friday; the day of Jesus Christ's crucifixion & death; out of respect & devotion, on this most Holy Day, I'll be brief.

I made some good progress this past week on getting started with my research for my book. This upcoming week, I intend to start assimilating my data & putting the proverbial ink on the paper.

I hope all of my family & friends, have a nice & Blessed Easter Holiday!....Mark

"Mark embarks on a new journey, into the distant past"

For the past 2 weeks, I've began researching bits & pieces of my 25+ yr. Fire Service career; in an attempt to fill in the blanks of my feeble memory banks.

Over the past few yrs., I've been approached by several people; encouraging me to write a book. Well after all this pushing & prodding; I've decided to give in & write a book of memoirs, encompassing my experiences as a firefighter. After all, I've got lot's of idle time on my hand. (No that's not a typo; I don't count my left hand; because it's been rendered useless for several yrs., thanks to my MS.)
I now can type with my right middle finger only. For me, as such writing a book is quite a laborious undertaking; as one might image.

One of two things is going to result from my book writing project.
(1) It's going to be a very short book; or (2) It will be a book of greater length; which takes several yrs. & goes unfinished, if I succumb to the effects of my MS!

My sincere hope & intention, is my book reaches a happy medium; somewhere in between.

Please feel free to visit my Blog periodically to monitor my progress.....Mark
