Yes it was.

The Battalion rig probably stayed on the ramp in front of quarters.

Long rides for 109 and 122 to relocate. Then again, Sunday morning traffic at that hour should be negligible. Key word "should."

And if you think you're so entitled to park there, then this is what you'll get!

Rest In Peace Mark. It seems that we were new kids on the block many, many moons ago. It was great to know and work with you. God Bless!

324's house was specifically built for the 1939 World's Fair if I have my facts correct.
