Milwaukee's New Male Icon

I'd like to send out a very sincere congratulations to my best friend Jeff Lang, who just two days ago graduated at the top of his class for the Milwaukee Fire Academy, and was rewarded with a seat on the city's most historic and prestigious ladder company. Jeff is one of the most unselfish people I have ever met, and I can't imagine hoping for anyone else to come save me in a fire. I wish I could have been there to see him graduate, but I probably would have embarrassed him by giving him a kiss or something. Which, ironically, was exactly what he did to me after this photo that was taken at my graduation.
