First of all I wish to thank you all for the very nice things you have said- especially about Duane and his love of his hobby. Sadly, Duane died 26 years ago today. But thankfully the love Duane had for his hobby lives on in the many thousands of images he has left for us all.
I thank you all for your much appreciated support. It means a lot to me to read such kind comments. I wouldn't be so hard on hawkins point. It is hard to read the emotion intended in a few printed words. I'm sure hawkinspoint meant well by correcting the errors I made. There are sure no hard feeling on my part.
The firepics site is such a wonderful means for all of us to share our profession, avocation, hobby, and/or common interest in the fire service and the fire rigs associated with it. My thanks to those responsible for this great site and to everyone who participates in each and every thread. I do my best to check out every single post.
I wish everyone on firepics a Wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
Now- to finish this thread: Duane didn't list any Baltimore deliveries in 1972. In 1973, Baltimoe received six ALF Pacemaker engines, an ALF elevating platform and a Mack MB/Swab Heavy Rescue. The first if the six ALF Pacemaker 1000/500 engines to arrive was assigned to Engine 21. It is ALF #PM12-3254 delivered in January of 1973 (from what I can tell, ALF only indicated the month & year on their apparatus nameplates during this period of time).
