Chief steps down after 30 years

[pcfdcap1]

Pearl City is honoring Dal Murray Saturday night for serving us as chief for 30 years at our annual fireman's ball. Any well wishers can email him at pearlcityfire@mchsi.com or stop in to the dance(8-midnite Eagle's Club Freeport). We will be giving him a special presentation that evening.

Let's see, 30 years ago, all fire trucks were red, EMTs were known as ambulance drivers, I was a senior in high school(and to many it WAS High school) Oh no, flashback:confused: :confused:

Hey cap, I remember the 70s, or at least I think I do:cool: :)

[jaybird210]

I was in grade school.

WHOOPS! Sorry.....:eek:






The big spoon strikes again!!!

I will send the chief my best wishes.
Not to be outdone by anyone here:
I SAW THE BEATLES THE FIRST TIME THEY PLAYED THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW! :p
Would anyone care to top that?
I didn't think so!:cool:

I won't top it Cr, but I saw them with ED the first time too. In fact, I remember it like it was yesterday:confused: :confused: flashback again. :p :p

WHOA!!!!

You guys are old, 30 years ago I wasn't even a twinkle, and my parents were like 10.

The older you get the better you were.

Lets see here, thirty years ago, my mother was 16, dad was 17, and I was 6 years from existence. So, who feels old now?

The question is "who feels young"?
You do?
Well, there's a junior/explorer thread with your name on it!!!:p
Heck with it; Jay, let's start an Illinois junior thread for the younguns!:D
God; I needed this. That crap over at the homestead was starting to get to me. Thanks, Wub.;)

Yoor welkome. U now, beeing nu and al, I aprecyate the junur forums. Na, can't do it. Alas, even I can't speak explorer jibberish. I feel young, sure as heck act young, but have a great deal more grey hair at 23 than I should. But if you think I'm young, we have a new guy newer than I.

Heck with it; Jay, let's start an Illinois junior thread for the younguns! Excellent idea CR. We've added 7 guys in the last 10 months ranging from 19-25 years old and that is one of the 3 reasons why I am, after all these years, taking the FFII class with them. I thought it would ge beneficial to them and PC Fire to get them off with the right head on their shoulders.
The other 2 reasons you ask? 1. We were never offered any training before. It was this is the way we do it cause this is the way we've always done it:confused: 3. The biggest reason I am taking the class with the youngsters-I couldn't let a bunch of youngsters show me up!:p :D
