Our next stop was in Rensselaer Falls, where Chief Dallas Denny was waiting for us.
One thing I always do is bring a small photo album with several prints of trucks, always posed properly in the sun, and if I have any from that area that we are visiting, I have those in the album. This pays off in huge dividends, as they get an understanding of how we would like to see the trucks posed, etc. The album payed off here, as when Chief Denny looked at it, I had photos of 4 RFFD trucks from about 25 years previous, 2 of which he had never even seen before. After that, he couldn't do enough for us! He started calling other departments to arrange people for us! Took the kids for a drive around town in the engine, and was absolutely wonderful!
