My dad had a small piece of the plane's engine that he kept in his dresser drawer. When he passed I asked my mother where was the piece? Her response, "Oh I threw that junk out." Nice work Ma.

Special call signals example= 5-713-16 would be calling just engine 16 to box 713. 7-713-7 would be the same only for ladder 7 and so on.

That would have been an easy run for 296, but they were OOS.

Another Oak Ridge member passed away recently as well. William Golden??? I don't recall definitely. This was another great group that were just a bit more up-tempo in their songs than the Statler Brothers.

Saturday night at 8 PM on NBC Perry sang that theme song, which by the way was released as a single on RCA-Victor records.

Probably messed with the Mr. Softee man who then took off and left the neighbors coneless.

Back in the day, 3-646-xxx terminals were all for Bellevue Hospital.

Or anything else for that matter.

Yes, you're correct Willie, "Johnny" was an EMS participant.

Geez, I probably don't know anyone who was promoted. Been out 15 years come September.
