| For my photos this week, more photos from the late Bill Walsh. Happy Thanksgiving! 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. |

| Assistant Chief John Rowell of the Essex Junction Fire Department (VT) retired in October after over 40 years of service to the department and community. John joined the department in June 1982 and, through hard work, mentorship, and steadfast leadership, rose through the ranks to become Assistant Chief. Known by all as a calm and steady presence, John was a voice of reason, a mentor to countless members, and our unofficial Human Resources Chief, always taking the time to know each firefighter personally. On the fireground, John was a solid and reliable leader, an officer who brought calm to chaos and confidence to those around him, especially during some of our toughest calls. His leadership will have a lasting impact on this department and the community we serve. In this picture he is seen with Fire Chief Chris Gaboriault (left) and Assistant Chief Jim Kellogg (right) after receiving one of his retirement gifts. |
