I got your drift!  I remember when an Old Buddy said Smoke Eater one time and I had never heard of that before.
My Uncle Jimmy was a Firefighter and lived in a humongous Apartment Building next door to the Firehouse. If my head was where it should have been instead of being a Juvenile Delinquent I would have had the honor of following Uncle Jimmy or into The Service but NOOOO! Had to find my own route, the rough way! Oh well, all's well that ends well!  |
My Uncle Alvin was fire chief of the Itasca Fire Department. I went to his funeral in 1994 and they had fireman from all over Chicagoland land there with a large procession carrying his casket to the cemetery or wherever it was actually going. He was almost in tears when he described to me his handling of a horrible plane wreck (Flight 191) and the recovery of bodies from it when he got called in as Fire Chief to deal with it and not for NOTHING.
