    Don and Marie taught us situational awareness in today’s world.  We still hope for the best but we’re better prepared of the worst.  Don brought his course to our little community group.  We brought the food and kept costs to a minimal. There’s always the possibility of one or more events with long-lasting repercussions.  Are you ready for that? Is your family, your home, your community?
