The association is a non-profit group that works in partnership with the Angeles National Forest. I am presently serving as an active fire lookout, board member (secretary), and public information officer for the organization.
VOLUNTEER
I volunteer my time for several organizations, not all of which I shall document here. My favorites are as follows:
Charles White uses an Osborne Fire Finder to to obtain the radial and distance to a suspected fire. From these measurements he will call in a "Smoke Report".
MY WIFE
My wife, Susan White, and I met via Match.com. She also joined ANFFLA and we enjoy spending as much time with each other.
This picture is of her during her in-tower training session. The smoke cloud in the background was a small fire located in the West Fork of the San Gabriel River.

Hello and welcome to my userpage. I really support the Wikipedia concept and noticed a lack of information regarding wildland fire information. Most of the existing information was very generic and too general. Using my knowledge and sources of existing information I would like to work with other Wikipedians to document the wildfire services.
Southern California is distinctive and should be so noted, but I still support a "one California" State. Yet, there is a line drawn on all maps that indicate where Alta California used to be.
As a licensed pilot, I had to learn to read the weather. With my love of sailing and outdoor hobbies I can enjoy the science of weather. Now as a firelookout I have to take readings and keep a constant eye on changing conditions that can effect fire behavior.
I got a "D" in college, but I know more about geology to this day than several "A" students that attended the same class as me. Do grades really measure one's ability to learn and retain information?

My commentary
Blade Runner
This user thinks Blade Runner is one of the best science fiction films ever made.
Maybe not the best sci-fi ever, but really was cool
This user knows that criminals are a cowardly lot, and uses fear to fight injustice and those who would prey on the fearful...
Batman never smiles when he is Batman. Bruce Wayne can laugh and have a grand ole' time but Batman can't. Any story, movie, book that violates that rule simply does not understand the pain that is inside Batman.
Fight them windmills, because another wave is coming
I am what I am, thanks Carl Sagan. I had a great conversation with him while we both sat on a wall. I told him I work at the job I do because of Cosmos. He shook my hand and had a tear in his eye. I wished he was here to learn about the new information regarding the neutron, and our 10th planet. I was able to attend the screening of "Contact" with his widow.
There has got to be more boxes, but making these tables took too much work.
