A whole big group of friends from school days. The group started in middle school, grew in high school, then grew even more in college. After college, guess what, we started meeting girls and getting married, the group grew even more. Then we started having kids, that took over life for a while and group activities dwindled. Now our kids are getting older and the activities are starting to increase. We've been through good times, bad times, death of parents, and failed marriages with each other.
The fire dept is yet another close group. It is a brotherhood in that we feel a close kinship with each other. You only need to see a firefighter's funeral to understand.
