[HFDlist] Arrangements for Ken Strong UPDATE>>>

[Jack Chandler]

UPDATE>>>

Firefighters from across the state will be meeting at Miles at 3:45 PM 
today for a walk through at Miles.

Anyone who wants to go through at 6 PM should still meet at HQ as I know 
a lot of you can't make the earlier time.

The funeral is at ten Friday at Miles. Anyone going should be at HQ at 
9:30.

Southboro firefighters will be parking behind our station and getting 
bused up.

Our Tower will be hanging a flag across Main street along with the 
Southboro Tower.

14C
