Tyler Crook and his Parents - June 19, 2008

We had a great time going out to eat and visiting with one of our favorite return missionaries and his parents from Utah. Tyler Crook was one of our missionaries back in 2002. During his mission in our ward we were able to spend a lot of time with him and his companion. We went to the Brick-yard 400 (Garage and Pit Passes), Conner Prairie, and many other wonderful times. Tyler has been back to spend time with us several times since his return home after his mission.

Look at these FACES!!!

This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq ...

SLEEP LAST NIGHT? Bed a little lumpy... Toss and turn any... Wish the heat was higher... Maybe the a/c wasn't on... Had to go to the john... Need a drink of water...?

Yes.. It is like that! Count your blessing s, pray for them, pray to our Creator/father in Heaven.

And the next time when ...

The other car cuts you off and you must hit the brakes, or you have to park a little further from Walmart than you want to be, or you're served slightly warm food at the restaurant, or you're sitting and cursing the tr affic in front of you, or the shower runs out of hot water,

Think of them...

Our whole family went to Camp Weim with Marino. Marino needed exercise and was able to play with two other Weims. We had a lot of fun and the kids got a long very well with the two other Weims, who are in rescue at this time.

Gary Coons

Elected to office in November 2006, I began my first term as Perry Township Trustee January 1, 2007. Although this is the first elected position I have held, I am no newcomer to public service. In 1991 I joined the fire service in Marion County. My career as a firefighter began at Franklin Township Fire Department, where I served as Lieutenant of Operations. In 1998 I left Franklin Township and filled the role of Injury Prevention and Public Information Officer for my hometown fire department in the City of Beech Grove. After retiring in 2006 from the fire service he decided to run for Perry Township Trustee and was successful in doing so by being elected with 68% of the vote.

Throughout my career I have been a leader to others in various capacities. For ten years, I was not only a member of Indiana Task Force One but also was a team leader, program manager, and FEMA and SEMA liaison. While at Beech Grove Fire Department I was elected Beech Grove District President for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Professional Firefighters Association and was a member of the executive board. I lead the district union members, organized projects, raised money, and negotiated the first collective bargaining agreement for the City of Beech Grove firefighters and communication employees.

I am a member of the National Fire Protection Association, National Fire Academy Alumni Association, Indianapolis Retired Firefighters Association, and Lincoln Roundtable. Recognized for his professional and community service, he has received several awards and acknowledgements. These include the Governor's Workplace Safety Award, Beech Grove Fire Department Firefighter of the Year in both 2002 and 2003, Extraordinary Personal Action Award from the American Red Cross, Presidential Academic Fitness Award, State of Indiana Community Service Award, and Beech Grove Community Service Award.
