Thanks for posting this, It was a wonderful day with great weather and awesome people. I want to thank everyone who took the time to bring thier rigs down and I hope to doo this next year Craig Photos from today - nice rigs! Poughkeepsie Apparatus Show - my Facebook album

Yup " ALOT " of salt

Just to let everybody know, Glen from the Chuchill Hose Haulers is selling his 1963 Maxim Pumper for $5000. The rig was in service with the Dobbs Ferry FD of Westerchester County It runs - pumps and has alot of the equipment still on it, I didn't notice any rust, body looks good, the chrome is starting to pit and needs a good waxing

I know both Hyde Park Fire and Fairview Explorers Post 17 are signed up, because I sent it in myself

There are pictures of it on my facebook account. It's still in great shape, but the weather will take it's toll at some point

You can log on to the website ALFowners.org The guys on the site should and will direct you to the parts you need

I can put it in my yard, I got ride of the wife, so there's more room.

The Fairview Fire Department's Explorers Post 17's 1955 American LaFrance ladder looks great to. That rig served The Hudson River State Hospital from 1955 to 1992

They own it. it's a 1949, They gave it to Vassar College back in the 70's and Got it back in the early 90's, They have been an awesome job restoring her.

Mark, thats what the FWD will look like when your done.

The 911 center has a memorial there, but it's not the Exempts, so if you don't own it, you can't control it.

Mark, How are my brothers, Todd & Brian Patton, Chappy Jr & Sr, Joey "Slickdinger" Dick Clark, Dave Rubin and all the others. Tell them all Craig says HI

Mark we have been there so many times, we could declare residence

I think Al and I will make the trip out wit the Engine and Ladder, Mark will the FWD be there

How is your FWD comming along We are trying to figure out how to get our 1955 ALF ladder over there for the show

Tony You and your family are in your hearts and prayers

Nice but where are they now, I spent alot of time there in the 90s and don't remember them

Based on the bumper it's a 1947, 48. ALF only had a round bumper with the grill on orders placed before 49. Half way through 49 they went tp the square bumper. The picture shows many upgrades over the years

Well get your a** over there, Do you need help

Mark you haven't stripped it yet

I know Luke purchased a few rigs from this guy recently, but I don't know if this was one of them

Nice Mark, Thank you for allowing the explorers to attend. It was a great day.

It's nice to see you can still get it around your waist, nice shots
