So I just picked up a book on Sanford Fire Apparatus written in 1985. The book ends with the sale of Sanford to Bill Hider, and his plans for the future of the company.
Being on the west coast I am not that familiar with Sanford, but I am under the impression that the company did not survive long after the change in ownership, closing in the late 80s or early 90s. I have run across a few articles from 89-90 that indicate there were some departments left with half finished Sanford apparatus around this time.
Anyway I was hoping that maybe somebody more familiar with Sanford could (with respect to Paul Harvey) tell me the rest of the story (1985-??).
I'll tuck a note into the back of the book for my future reference, so if we have a big fan of Sanford here feel free to ramble on as much as you desire.
Thanks
