I was one year behind Ivan in school and replaced him on his first perm job (he left to travel). He called me 11 months later and asked me was I ready to travel. He did not even know me, but he help set me up for becoming a traveler. We ended up working together on my very first travel job. He was so fun and so layed back. We both traveled with our dogs and had a great time working together. Sometimes the echo team would hold him down and fabreeze him when he would come back in from smoking. Now I wish we would have wrangled him to the ground and slapped a patch on his arm. I worked with Ivan a few more time before I "retired" to family life. I always enjoyed each day we worked and goofed off together. I will always think of him and smile. We miss you Ivan. Toni 02/17/10
