~retirement party~

Tonight Paul's station threw a retirement party for his co-worker Mike (pictured far left). We also sent off Paul's captain of 9 years Joe (not pictured) as he is moving on to bigger and better things, he will be greatly missed at the house. It was a perfect evening and a wonderful way to celebrate a man that has spent his life dedicated to the fire department and his crew. In typical firefighter fashion there were a lot of jokes, a few tears and a lot of drinks! Cheers Mike, enjoy your new life and the many new adventures that await you!
I also must add that as I heard the men talk, it made me feel so much better knowing that he is surrounded by outstanding men that care and respect and enjoy one another. Paul is in good hands.

P.S. This was taken on my old little point and shoot and I am now even more thankful for my Nikon, sorry for the bad quality.
