Dave Rogness has the patience of a saint. He allowed me to ride along with him to a meeting in Bismarck today. Actually, he graciously offered to drive not only me but also other members of the InfraGard board. I was the only one who could go ultimately so Dave got about six uninterrupted hours [...]

Stumbling my way through this dance called life…
