Pierce 100th Anniversary Parade 7-13-2013

Doc, I believe Pierce has only become a force in the fire apparatus industry nationwide in the last 40 or 50 years.  While there are many existing examples of 100 year old Mack, ALF's and Seagraves, I have never seen a 100 year old Pierce fire truck.  Anyone who knows more about Pierce can correct me if I am wrong.

Sounds correct, but for such a "celebration" you would think they'd have some more of the older ( from the 60s and 70s) apparatus there! As someone already mentioned there are still some older aerials/snorkels with Pierce bodies, even if they're not in the area, they could have spent a couple of bucks to bring them to/from Appleton, I'm sure Pierce/Oshkosh can afford it. As far as the photo "police," I think it's disgusting, either you allow photos or don't.  Sounds to me like it was p*ss poor planning all around, but also sounds like corporate America at its best.
