I have had so many and continue to do so.

One of the early ones was when Dr Edgar P. almost begged me to come back to class after he kicked me out!!!!!

The next night was the pool kegger and the following day my partner and I are the only 2 from the kegger that was on time for class. His instructor Jeff Crawford was 2 hours late most students were at least an hour late and Dr. Ed was fit to be tied and again he called me into his H street office, the nerve of this guy. He thought I had something to do with it.
Heck, I just bought the Keg and Yukon Jack. Almost forgot, went through a couple of qts ot peppermint Snapps too.

Shawn, Tony Lima was also doing some instructing for Ed at the same time and working out of the building I wonder if he remember how mad I used to get Ed????? I forgot to ask him the last couple of times I saw him.

A few...

Getting my first 4 figure insurance check... sad I know, but that was early days. ($14,000 from memory)

Moving up to a larger 2000+ sqft high stud warehouse and justify staying there for the past 4 years.

Employing a few good guys and firing 1 bad egg.

Getting to help a few newer guys from time to time.

Getting to mix with some of the good guys near the top at the 07 Inspectors course.

Just to name a few.

John
