The Gettin Salty Podcast featuring Retired FDNY member Billy Carlson was a Great show. I add that show to the list of some of my favorites. Guys on here like "Johnny Gage", "69METS", "jkal", and of course "Disp120".
Billy talked about his interest on the job, as well as how proud he was of his father, Howie Carlson, who was also on the job.
He certainly paid his dues as a firefighter working in some of the busiest companies in the city. Not only that, several years before as a member of the NYPD in one of the busiest pcts in the city.
Several of us here have had the honor to meet and chat with Billy Carlson, thanks to a good friend to many of us.
That friend being retired B/C Jack Kleehaas aka "68jk09", who I believe will be celebrating his 39th (?) birthday tomorrow, April 4th.
