Thanks for the details Warren. I have to agree with you based on that information. I'll notify the editor of the roster so they can correct the entry. I appreciate the follow-up. I hope to see the owner in Winchester in about a month and I'll also talk to him about it. There's a chance that the entry indicating Virginia in the roster was just an editorial mistake and not the actual data submitted by the owner.
Much appreciated!

BTW - I checked my archives today and I have other photos of this rig from 1999 on and some do not have goldleaf on the doors and others have "Elkridge" clearly visible so I assume that some work was done along the way to improve cosmetics.

2. In the book, "Not for Glory" Elkridge VFD,MD. 50th anniversary, on pg. 24 are 2 pictures of the 1960 Mack as Elkridge E-11.
3. In MY book "Firefighting in AlleganyCounty,MD." (2005, Arcadia Publishing), on pg.118 is a picture of the 1960 Mack as Orleans, MD.,Allegany Co.E43-12. The picture was provided by Virginia McLaughlin,formerly of Baltimore,MD.
4. I have been to Orleans MD. VFC to photograph its successor - a 74 CF.,and am quite familiar with this VFC's history.
Until I can arrange to have Ms. McLaughlin's photo scanned for this site, that is the evidence I am presenting...
