Hi Rick

Have sent a friend request through. I'm real keen to find out more about the helmets. I have an international collection and would love to get hold of some of these.

-Also like the lieutenant one with the white shield and the red 8. Can't see the entire company designation. $$? Size?

-Rick I like the leather captain from MFD with the gold on the brim. How much and what size is it?

Hello old timer! How's things with you? I saw you posted some interesting photos from FDNY, especially the one of William "Boss" Tweed. I am not sure many people in the fire service today know who he is and what he did. Also I'm looking for more info on one of the historic firefighter strikes in the late 1800's or early 1900's in I believe Boston or NY. You should know I started a group called CHAOS for fun and useful stories. Check it out

Stay safe and don't hurt yourself at nap time!

Rick,
I am sorry, I honestly did not know the front of the book would take up so much space. Sorry, Roger

Hi Rick! So glad you shot me a note. I sent you one earlier but since I am new at this not sure if went to you or who knows where. Before I go any further I want to you to be sure and say howdy to the better half. We can never forget them.
Say, I want you to know I just released the book, Avoiding Fire Department Induced CHAOS. I think I may have mentioned it at FDIC this past year. I am self publishing so far. It only became available this past week and the interest has been very rewarding. Shoot me a mailing address and I will gladly send you a copy. You can email me at lunt@ctitech.com
Well need to go. Stay in touch.

ThankS, Rick. Great job on your chapter!

Thanks Rick! We're pretty excited to see it--great job on your chapter!

Unreal isn't it!!!!!

Rick, Yes Darrell and I used to be on the same shift. And of course he used to be our Union Prez. Plus being a small dept everyone knows everyone.

I had a lot of good times there as a kid. My uncle had a boat and his son and I used to take it to the lake on weekends. It has changed a lot since then. It seems much more a private lake than it used to be.

I will do that.

Hi Rick,
Glad to hear about the pump - I hope it works well.
Looking forward to seeing you and Cathy at Indy.
