C Model Macks were great looking rigs.

You're welcome 217. My dad was quite a bit older than Kevin, 84 at the time and he was also affected by Parkinson's which seriously affected his mobility and by the end of a 45 day stay he was up walking with a walker and minimal assistance. I'd guess Kevin's road will be somewhat easier if he's...

Happy New Year to everyone.

Good news. My dad was at Eger after a stroke they did a good job with him so he's in good hands.

over 20 min. unreal.

Rest In Peace Sir.

Merry Christmas to everyone here on the site and thanks for all the great information and discussion here.

There's a great color picture in John Calderone's ALF Tiller book of L127 after the fire when it was being removed.

Prayers for Kevin.

That's a tight spot. Behind those buildings on Henry is a yard that had access to the second story roof behind 132 and the last 2 buildings on Montague. I've had to trace many outside wires back there 😎 There's alot of wood in those old buildings they did a great job keeping it from spreading to...

Visiting Pearl Harbor was something I'll never forget. Looking down at the Arizona and seeing the oil still coming from the ship made you realize the importance of what happened that day. Too many heroes to count in one day. About 9 years ago i made another trip to Oahu and happened to be there...

He probably dodged another bullet by retiring in Jan 2001. God Bless him.

I remember it well. I was repairing a phone line down the block a couple days before. Fortunately neither you or your uncle were there at the time. After so many years of working in different buildings you take for granted nothings gonna happen. Sad to say a few people died there.

This reminds me of the apartment bldg that exploded on State St. years ago right near E226. I believe the residents smelled gas no one called and the apt. house was leveled. I think a man and his wife were killed.

Don't blame you my friend. Lucky it wasn't too often we had work there.

Another rough spot. These Brooklyn jobs are bringing back memories of places I'm glad I don't work in anymore.

Years ago my coworkers and I would get phone repair jobs there. It was a two man building one does the work the other watches his back. You didn't want anyone sneaking up on you while you were on a ladder.

Right down the block from the St. George.
