Longevity awards

The Annual Awards banquet recognized volunteer and staff with long histories in the Department.

• Five Year awards were presented to Robert Anderson, Veronica Solomon, Hilmar Maier and Jesse Wood.
• Robert Ragar was presented with a Twenty Year award.
• CGFR's very first 25 year member, David Akin, was recognized.
• And a big "Hello!" to all the new members in 2008: responders Forrest Baumfalk, Tallan Baumfalk, Nathan Carey, Ryan Cary, Craig Donaldson, Mary Knight, Katrin Nilsen, Stephen Shoults, Brad Stone and Leia Ward. Two new Board members, Doug Schneider and Joel Duncan, are welcomed, too. We hope to be here when you receive your ten and twenty year awards.

Thanks again to everyone who keeps CGFR running! You're the lifeblood of the Department.
