Mack, the photo of E 323's Quad is a blast from the past for me. When I was a kid growing up in the Marine Park area, two of my neighbors were assigned to 323 (one was a lieutenant and the other was his MPO). Often, after having responded to a run in the area, they would come down the block with...
