HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY TO THE HAMILTON VOLUNTEER FIRE CO.
My friend and Broad Street Park-Rusling Hose Historian Jim Colello was kind enough to donate this beautiful photo of the fire company that is celebrating its centennial year in this year of 2009. The familar gray fire trucks are a beautiful sight to see, but much more beautiful as we watch the brave volunteers risking life and limb as they protect our community from fire. There will be numerous vintage graphics relating to the Hamilton Fire Company in subsequent posts. Stay tuned, and by all means, email your comments, pro and con to me at thomglo@verizon.net. I will be adding a "Hit"counter and a Guest Book in the near future.
An ole friends Dad worked at Rusling Hose Firehouse. His name was John Allen. This was in the 1970s. The Allen family moved away to Florida many many years ago:)
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
