Jeff Fryrear, President
My name is Jeff Fryrear and I am the new President of the BOF. I hope to be able to contribute during the next two years and will certainly try hard to accomplish this. My wife, Candalyn, will be helping a lot toward this goal.
The continuing training and development of new DOVEs is encouraging and the growth of the BOF is proof of the interest people have in helping out. The more we can encourage this, and continue to grow, the better able we will be to help meet the disaster worker needs of the Red Cross. By doing this we can really help those in need. Let’s continue to prepare for what we hope never comes.
On the personal side, we are both basically retired and we live in Louisville, KY. We are not yet full-timers, but are working toward that goal also. I am a Christian Minister doing pulpit supply in area churches and other church related projects. We are members of the Christian Fellowship BOF and really do appreciate the opportunities for service we have found through the Escapees.
