  Nice picture of Truck 10. With all the civilians, they must be blessing the new rig. Never knew they used to do that. Doesn’t look like Monsignor Gorman so it must be a parish priest from St. Michaels. Must be a neighborhood event. No Quinn, no brass, not even Battalion 3.

  I was told the captain of Truck 3 hated the Mack-Magirus and he was transferred in retaliation for speaking his mind.

  Too bad Ken Little is no longer with us to tell us more about the photo.

  Thanks for posting.
