JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

Go play the lottery, because I went out and took photos of fire apparatus outside of Stoneham. As you most likely know, I don't get out to do photos much anymore these days, so it was really great to head over to Logan Airport on a beautiful day and blow the dust of my camera. We got some great shots and had a few laughs (well at least before Mike fell. Glad you are you ok my friend). Special thanks to Assistant Chief Tim Howe for the hospitality and to Mike and the boys for letting me tag along.

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.
