"The Town Talk mailing list is open to all Riverdale Park residents. It is
a way for you to discuss anything you think might be of interest to
other residents or the town's government."<br><br>Well, I hope that we can all act compassionately on Fire Chief's Ryan's battle without ulterior motives.<br><br>I see no more than a small comment from our mayor.<br>
<br>It takes a lot more effort, when one's life is on the the line. It takes leadership and you have to work to make a difference, like rallying people, maybe even make a speech...<br><br>To get really involved...<br>

For anyone who missed it, or would like to refer to it again, Mayor<br>
Archer recently pointed TownTalk readers to the RP Fire Dept's website<br>
(<a href="http://www.riverdalevfd.org/" target="_blank">http://www.riverdalevfd.org/</a>), where one can leave a message for<br>
Chuck Ryan and/or see the instructions for leaving a donation.<br>
<br>
The instructions given there are: "If you would like to make a<br>
donation (or drop off a card) on Chuck's behalf, please make a check<br>
payable to the Riverdale Fire Department and drop it off at (or mail<br>
to) the offices of the Town of Riverdale Park, 5008 Queensbury Road,<br>
Riverdale Park, MD 20737."<br>
<br>
We are truly fortunate to have the dedicated first responders -- such<br>
as Chuck Ryan -- and civil servants that we do. It's part of what<br>
makes Riverdale such a wonderful place to live.<br>
