Firehouse World Convention 2010 in San Diego, California
We finally arrive from Houston to the San Diego Convention Center. We show up on Monday to set up our booth. This is our first major FIRE-EMS-RESCUE convention. We have been pretty low-key until now.
It is exciting and I am a little nervous. Steve is excited and wants to start setting up the booth to make sure it is going to work out o.k.
Our display is made up of PVP pipe, duck tape, Quick grip glue, Velcro tabs, and rulers that help hold up the PVC pipe. ha ha ha
It was kind of sagging in the middle a little bit but did it's job JUST FINE. People with really nice displays and booths told us that THAT is how THEY started...they all said to us, "You have to start somewhere." Which was very encouraging. Everyone from the other Exhibitors and ALL the firefighters, EMS, Rescue, Police officers we met there were awesome!
Here is a friend of ours Tom St. Martin. He is a firefighter and a friend of Steve's. He was really nice and we happened to see him at the Convention.
Tom took Steve and Steve's best buddy in high school, Joe Rhombs, surfing in southern California when they were 16. He was really cool and Steve never forgot about him and how nice he was to take Steve and Tom's cousin, Joe, surfing. Steve never forgot about that and we HAPPENED to run into him at the convention. It was really fun meeting him and having he and Steve catch up again! Steve is on the right, Tom is on the left:
Thank you ALL for your support and friendship.
Ismari and Steve
