We almost forgot to give y’all the good news!

While I was out for the count – okay, maybe not literal but the sickness I had postponed this really GREAT POST!

The helmet belonging to the Alamo Area F.O.O.L.S. President Rob Mitchell was last seen as a part of a table decoration, during a St. Patty’s event that raised funds for a fellow Firefighter and his Family.

“I have had a lot of memories created with that lid…… ” – Rob Mitchell

 Described as black with a custom one-of-kind front on it with writing on the inside means a lot to President Mitchell.  As you can tell from the photos posted here, just what that means to him and how he could not part with it.  We were upset that someone would actually take from a benefit helping another with Cancer.

The story goes like this,

“I found my Lid today. A friend of mine saw it Saturday but wasn’t sure it was mine.  I went there today with a Sheriff’s Deputy and was there sitting on this salesman’s desk.  He was NOT associated with any FD, Just a person who took it the night of the Benefit.” – Rob 

Rob Mitchell thanks all of our readers who helped spread the news like wildfire and helping us get the word out about his missing helmet.  As always, we couldn’t do this without you all.
