Iam so sorry for your lost. When I join Claymont Fire Co
In 1995 Chris was our pay personal. If it was not for Eric
Haley? I Have not met one our pay staff. Chris took the time out
To shake my hand and welcome in the fire service. It felt good when
I took part in going to Talleyville Christmas party that first year
As well looking at the apparatus too. There have times that just
Wanted to go to Wilmington Fire Co? Just to say Hi to Chris and
The gang as well as Eric...
