My fire service history dates to 1969 at Engine 6 in New London, Connecticut where I bunked in as a volunteer for three years. Before leaving I was given an attendance award for being gung-ho and…Continue

Deborah Straszheim’s update on Alan Ackley’s inane, insidious antics in today’s New London paper is old news. Ackley continues to act the mad fool navigating—if you can call it that—the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District right toward the shoals of financial and public safety disaster.
Straszheim reported that Ackley…
