Our Second Journey Down Memory Lane
By Public Information Officer Douglas Medley
March 18, 2015
I had some positive responses from the last old photo story, that I thought I would do another one. Now as I have said before there are many that don’t like my stuff but there are some that do so until the webmaster cuts me off I will continue to do them with the old pictures and stuff. I was just amazed of the phone calls I got about some of the people on the last one so I’m hoping I will get more of the same on this one. I know there are many of you out there that were members at one time or the other and I would love to hear from you if I show a picture with no name with it. I can’t tell you how many hours our recently retired treasuer Bruce Theden has spent scanning the pictures but it has been a lot of hours. Thanks to our past fire chief Rick Redmond for providing some of these shots.
