Yesterday afternoon, February 22, 2009, Jay Nicholson and I saw, touched and sat in our Firetruck. Locating the truck and the house items has always been a priority for the Association. This is a huge find for us. All credit for locating our truck goes to “Master Detective” Mac Humphries, everyone should send Mac a thank you for his relentless efforts in tracking the truck’s location.
The truck is in remarkable condition. It needs a little TLC and a mechanic. The paperwork has begun to re-title, license, insure our truck. The committee will discuss in detail the Firetruck addition at our next meeting, and share with a post our decision. We should all understand that the day of an 18 year old driving the Firetruck is over, or active or alumni. This will be our special purpose vehicle. The truck will be titled to the Zeta Chi Alumni Association. We will have “her” as our featured guest at events.
But, for now, we found our truck. It’s not any firetruck, not a replacement, it is Zeta Chi’s 1940 Ford Firetruck.
