Our fire company (my son is Captain) went to Vermont yesterday to pick up a 1951 Pierce pumper..... just found out it was number 11 in a line of 38.....
It was OUR FDs until they sold it Vermont WAY back when
Vermont let us know they were selling it and asked if we wanted it back.. again.... Of course our idiots said yes :toast: :silly: so off they went to pick it up with a dump truck and trailor...... I went tonight to see it..... all i could think of is
IF THIS TRUCK COULD TALK what wonderful stories would it tell me..... I will try to get a picture,.......
QUESTION We have to try to raise $50,000.00 to refurbish and clean it up
any ideas on how to raise money we a;ready are working on an amicable decision
