I too remember going to those early Philly musters along the Delaware. Funny, we probably walked right past one another. I have some pics that my father took at the muster. I remember Camden's "New" Hahn tiller being there, and some other rigs. I'll have to find those pics and post them. I also remember the last Philly Muster that they had back in '89 in front of the Fire Administration building, (way before they started having them again at the PFD Academy). I met the late Tom Wanstall there, he had just come out with his book "FIRE! At war with the Red Devil". He autographed it for me, nice guy.[/quote]
Funny you mention that... I remember too walking up and down in front of Fire Headquarters (Admin) on Spring Garden Street too... I am SURE we must have passed some where in our travels. I am glad they started the muster again... BUT it's not the same as walking Delaware Ave with the engines drafting out of the river... AH Those good Old Days!
