I'm surprised that they didn't get Clark Kent to call Superman. Some of those posts are mind boggling.

One of the nicest people that you could ever meet. Rest In Peace Maria.

I have known Chief P. since he was a brand spanking new FDNY EMT and watched his exemplary rise through the ranks of the Department. He was ALWAYS a conscientious and meticulous individual in all of his assignments from start to his present rank. I'd work and be guided by him anytime!

In all actuality there was no Tijuana Brass so to speak. Studio musicians did the work and when Alpert did something live they imported some musicians to back him up. At the studio it was a group who were called "The Wrecking Crew" and backed more artists recording than we have time to list or...

"Whipped Cream" is the album title.

With all of these first due jobs lately, 251 should have the "Quad" as they did years ago with the additional manpower. Of course, it will never happen but it's a conversation starter. lol

Tony was a FF in L130

Long run for 295 to get in first. Probably 295 and 273 got in together. The "Spirits" of 296 and 272 must have had a good laugh.

Continue to Rest In Peace to all and be assured you will never be forgotten!

233 relocated to 307? 223 used to be a Marine Company way back when.

Elmer, you're correct but what happened with that test......well, if you were around then you would remember.

There was a Lt.'s test. For higher ranks there were none and for reasons I won't go into.

And don't forget the Battalion. If you were standing on the corner of Jamaica Avenue & 162 Street and there was a whole house run, it was like being at a parade.

Plymouth Valiant or a Dodge Dart?

Yup, in an index card tin box at the housewatch desk.
