As the R Gruppe started to grow, Chris realized that we needed to have National Chapters. Chris appointed me East Coast Chaptermeister. I was honored. It didn't last to long as he didn't realize how busy I was with a business and family. Still, I was glad to see he had the trust in me to move the east coast forward.
Even though my west coast trips have slowed way down in the last 10 years or so, he always called to see how things were going.
To say he had a impact on the early 911 world is a understatement. I'll miss you my friend.
