Crossover work in other district:
Put on arbitration case in Claremore, case went well and we were done by no. Arbitration panel agreed that no briefs were needed and the neutral arbitrator should have his decision done in thirty days. Also Brian and I stopped and had lunch with former PFFO VP Carriger and local board from Catoosa. Gordon has been assigned to assist them in negotiations by the IAFF and we met to discuss issues they are having.
