Great resources, information, and the latest legislative updates Florida Council Newsletter Chapter Information It s been a long five months but I m actually back at work. (Well, part time, at this point.) Though I still cannot drive, I m working hard to regain everything. The last five months have been tough, especially for Jill and I want to thank everyone for their kind words, cards, and prayers. I have about a foot of cards. and the prayers worked because there were so many of them. They say that there are no atheists in foxholes. It clearly applies to motorcycle accidents, also. Thank you, Victor, for picking up the flag and continuing to forge ahead. (That s what soldiers do!) If you don t mind keep carrying it until I m driving (hopefully, October at some point). Until then, when is the next Officer s Call?
