So last evening I took the 54" to Salem, Ohio for the Quaker City Cruise Weekend Kickoff. There were several hundred cars at this "cruise in" but my car seemed to be a big hit there. A lot of people were fascintated by the car stopping to look inside and a lot of pictures were taken. Well this one couple stopped by and we struck up a conversation about the car. Here she had worked at Gold Cross as a dispatcher the same time I was working out of Alliance Division. Her husband had been a Salem Firefighter but said he "used to run ambulance at Higgins Funeral Home back in the 70s". I immediately asked him if he remembered a certain orange 73 Lifeliner with air horns on the step roof? He did remember they had the 73 and a 71 which sounded like a volunteer with ful vues and a 69. I told him his car still existed and explained to him it was in Smyrna Beach, Florida alive and well and very well cared for. I told him to google Richard Vyse and he should be able to see the old rig he worked out of.
