    Hey John, Thanks for the invite brother. I have some friends who are with the Memphis Fire Dept. How far are you from there? Do they call you a "D@#$ Yankee"? :-)
    Stay safe!

    Whats Up John Thanks for the add, wow, "starting" with The City of Groton in 1992? makes me feel old.. lol.. back in the dark ages I was riding Mystic's 55 ALF to the oddfellows home automatic M/A box when we blew the motor on the way Back east, and when we Finally recieved the "new" truck (1977 Maxim) the same crew ran to the same box for its 1st run.. I also can tell you some storys about the Ward Hi Ranger which was Pretty much Mystic's 2nd due truck for years in the 70's..lol I even have A couple Pics of PBFD's ALF rearmount before it was lettered at St patrick's church 2nd due at a great save..I got hired down the other side of NH back in '89 so wasn't in the old hood by the time you in the city.. But there are a couple peepsup there who might remember me..LOL
