JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, a photo of me with my dog Margo at the fire station.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.


Me with our family dog Margo. She is the only dog I've ever met that likes fire truck sirens. She won't say, but I think she secretly wanted to be a dalmation.
