Great job and nice pics. Been to Chesapeake City twice in my life. My aunt moved down there from NJ almost 20 years ago and married a guy from there name Ray. When they got married in June '94 we all went down to Chesapeake for the wedding. My new "uncle" Ray had a brother-in-law named Barry who was a Battalion Chief on the job in Chesapeake. Uncle Ray set up a day trip for BC Barry to take my father, cousin, uncle and myself on a little buff trip to a couple of Chesapeake stations. When we stopped at the old E-3, we actually met Frank Young and spent a considerable amount of time talking to him. What a nice guy! I remember him well as he was also originally from New Jersey, and had tried to get on the FDNY back in the early '80's, but couldn't due to the lawsuit that a bunch of women hopeful candidates had brought against the city alleging discrimination, and thus holding up the hiring list for several years. I was very upset when I heard that Frank had gotten killed in the line of duty just about 2 years later.
