[ETSList] South Plainfield Labor Day Parade andFireworksVolunteers needed

[ccrane at councilmancrane.net]

I agree with all the posts.  The trouble with Emergency Management in ANY
CITY, is people like him.  These people thing that the world revolves about
them. They think that they are the only ones that count.  We are all in this
together and we better realize that before it's too late.

 I am glad to see that he was removed from the list and hope that if he is a
club member, he will be removed from the club too.  If necessary, I will
attend the next club meeting to make that a motion.  I've worked with people
like him ever since 911.  They remind me of the old story about the chicken
running around with his head cut off.  He gets know were.  Thanks again.
