<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is the second Holiday Season since my surgery and
chemotherapy for colon cancer and tests are still showing clear. Thank God! Laura
and the rest of the family are doing well and we are all set for all our family
to be together for the Birth of our Savior Celebration on Friday. For some of
you there are other meanings to this season of the year but for us the Reason
for this Season is <i>Christmas,</i> the birth of <i>Jesus</i>. I pray that
your <i>Spiritual </i>needs are met in a real <i>Way</i> this Holiday Season.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have had a busy year at Forest Applications Training,
Inc. We completed 2009’s schedule with 184 working days, 152 nights
on the road, all to bring training and presentations to just over 2500
participants. The 2010 calendar is already getting full (<a
href="http://www.forestapps.com/iten.html" target="_blank">schedule</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am excited about our <a
href="http://www.forestapps.com/chainpoint/chainpointhome.html" target="_blank">ChainPoint</a>
upstart the first of the year. I know you have already received some ChainPoint
emails, some <i>too many</i>, but I hope you will find the connection, after
the first of January, to be valuable to your work (and yes play) with a chain
saw and other power equipment. Keeping all safe and productive is our goal as
we move into this venture. There will be product reviews, training program
reviews, new techniques and a lot of communication from operators in questions
and answers. All <a href="http://www.forestapps.com/news.html" target="_blank">connecting</a>
you to items and services you will find useful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Forest Applications Training, Inc. will be closed until the New
Year so you won’t hear from me until the first week of January. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, have a Blessed Holiday Season and Merry Christmas from <a

Training, Inc</a>. !<o:p></o:p></p>
