Thanks Nick, I was there for the services for Brad. I stood at the head of his casket that Friday evening at the funeral home for the services, and attended and was part of the funeral. I did not remember the Sutphen. Again, thanks.

No I did not. Our department honor guard provides services all over western PA for line of duty deaths. This one was an extremely tough one. I stood at the head 3 different times that evening. Some day when we can get together I will explain.

Yes, go to the Keystone State Relics thread and look at post # 4370. There is a picture of it.

It's just your average, run of the mill, internet chatroom/texting language. All the "young" folks know it...... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Willow Street Fire Company was running this Simon-Duplex/?? Engine as Engine 5-12-1 when I visited them in 2003 on one of my many roadtrips for my work. Not sure if it is still in service or not.
And Willow Street was also running this Ford as Squad 5-12 when I visited them in 2003. Hope you all enjoyed these pics, wish they were better quality, but these were taken with one of my first digital cameras, and it was not the best camera to use.
