JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, a photo of me and my daughter in NYC where I was on vacation last weekend.

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.


Went to a convention with my daughter in New York City last week and it was a great time. The days were pretty packed, so didn't get to visit any firehouses but did see a few rigs go by.
