I received the index for IFSTA's Chief Officer, 3rd edition, this week and quickly turned it around for Graphics. Ann Moffat got it back to me within an hour and I turned it back around to her shortly thereafter. Next stop for the manual will be the printer. I should see the blue line in a couple of weeks, then back to the printer for the full print run.
The committee and FPP staff did a really good job on this manual. We refocused on the standard; moved it from our double column format to our new, cleaner, single column format; tightened up sentence structure; and removed endless repetition! The book went from 500 plus pages to about 350!

Represented FPP/IFSTA at the Oklahoma State Firefighters Convention in Catoosa on Thursday and Friday. Met with a lot of really nice folks who do a lot of good for the citizens of Oklahoma! Had a chance to talk with many of them about our new or updated products coming out soon.
As someone at the office kept pointing out, the convention was held at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. A really nice venue. No, I didn't go gambling. The casino area was much too smoky for me. Kept bothering my allergies. I was also put off a bit by the fact that the new slot machines run off bills/cards/tickets as opposed to coins.

I did get a little writing done on Roman's Legion this week. A couple of pages at most. Hope to jump that up this next week.
Picked up a sale of Chaos on Terra-Prime from...Amazon Italy!!! And a sale of Honing Your Instructional Skills from...Amazon UK!!! I've broken into the international market!
Well, enough for now. Need to get busy on some stuff around the house, then do some more writing!
Y'all have a great week. Be careful out there...the world is full of crazy people!
