This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] that Jeff posted the list ! He called me and was giggleing ( if you have heard that it is pretty funny ) and told me to read the list. He is so proud of himself now. ; /
I have been asked about his e-mail name, OPIE. Here is the story: When Jeff was hired with Orange Co. Fire Authority, he was 18 years old. His dad, Pete Pedersen was a Batallion Chief with the Orange City FD, and Jeff had worked in the County warehouse, suppling fire crews with gear ect. since he was 16. So, here comes this big, blond, freckle faced 6'4, 140 lb. kid into the Firestation carrying all his gear, grining ear to ear. The CHIEF happend to be sitting there that day, took a look and announced to everyone......" boys.....meet OPIE ! " and it stuck. For years, even the back of his helmet had OPIE written on it. There are guys who think that it is his name. Whistleing the MayberryRFD song is not uncomman when I call for Jeff..... He is " pumping water into Helicoptors " right now. It is a hot, noisy job. Im happy with this position. Let some of the fresh crews arriving from out of state go out on the lines for now. Lisa ps got an e-mail from Lisa Lucidi today. Shes in San Diego Co. and had evacuated 80 horses ( including her Fjord, Tyra 1 ) from her farm. Today, they are starting to bring some back...all ok. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
