Living Between the Lines

Part 1: Even tethered to his high performance fire-engine red Jeep Cherokee wheelchair, Kenny was a force of nature. His spirit and zest for life made his shenanigans and antics even more laughable. There was nothing that he couldn't do, and he did everything with style and panache. His teacher, Mr. Sap, was Kenny's biggest fan and advocate. When Kenny was growing up and becoming his own person, Mr. Sap realized it was time to let him go.Part 2:The forest and grasslands in the western part of the United States were ablaze. Sap and the Ground Pounders of the Southern Colorado Wildland Firefighting Crew were called to action to the Beaver Mountain ski resort in Logan, Utah. Together with the combined efforts of the Lone Peak Hotshot Prisoner Crew from the Department of Corrections and the Rosebuds Native American crews, the mischief of the fire was managed. Soon the healing of the land would begin, and Sap knew that it was time for him to let it go.
