Andrew got a taste of the fun part of what his dad does Wednesday. The Michigan Propane Gas Association had scheduled a training session for firefighters in St. Louis, and after I finished my Union Township story and he finished work at Wendy's, we headed down with cameras.

I had the newspaper's video camera and Andrew shot stills. These are his photos.
