Eugene thanks for your service to our fire department. Without your help the Krest kids would have hauled more buckets of water to the garden than it was worth. Your pump and hose helped produce more vegetables than could be imagined , gladly shared. You tried to console jean when he known as a husband passed on from carbon monoxide poison, oddly a chunk of my ice shocked his heart back to life. know Jeanne thanks you for helping too she barely made it out of John's workshop garage.
