I cannot pass on this picture without leaving a comment.
Judging from the white brim on his cap, I’d say the gentleman in the center-right is the fire chief – a perfect example of group effort from the top down and community service from the bottom up.
How can so few do so much with so little? TEAMWORK!
Is it any wonder so many of us grew up wanting to become firefighters and police officers?
To the members of Monroe High School, class of 1963, THANK YOU! for this great picture and these wonderful comments.
Caroline.........I was SO glad to see your Comment today! Have been waiting, hoping you'd share more about this picture with us.
I know Jim & I have already had "Personal Picture" surprises on this BLOG, and so many others finding special memories about pictures, but I could only imagine how exciting it must have been for you to suddenly see this of your Dad pop up. How wonderful.
Loved the story about you and your sister Ruth Ann buidling the "go-carts".....sounds exactly like the Little Rascals cartoons!
I do remember the set-up at Oasis, but had forgotten you worked there. (At least we know customers at both doors got a smile!). A big treat for my brothers and me when we were little, was a Sunday afternoon "ride into town", and ice cream cones from Oasis with our parents.
So happy to have classmate "family" to enjoy these old memories with, since parents are no longer here. Mine would have both loved reading all our notes.
Thanks again, Mystery Blogger. The MHS BLOG is doing so much for all of us!
