Description
This photo was taken at the Iola Historical Society "village" complete with restored village hall, one room school house, depot, rails and caboose, and an new but patterned after antiquated fire house! They have several oldies here, of which this is one, Not the oldest, as the oldest is horse drawn! This one is motorized. I was in a parade once with a friend who was a Fire Chief in Des Plaines, IL, and his dog, Sparky and later, his dog Cinder rode with us on his totally restored antique fire truck. What a ride! Lots of good memories, as he has since passed away! Loved Sparky!

A delightfully nostalgic work. Great composition and detail. What a marvelous print this would make in a Firefighters station, office or Fire Hall. Would make a great gift idea for Firefighters. L/F

We had a Sparky pup that we loved ( and still do ) for 16 years. The day after his passing a wild calico, Kitty ( I didn't have the heart to name her at the time! ) adopted us!

Thanks Carolyn, as coming from you, that means a lot to me, as you are the true artist in the family. Thanks for the gift of my camera, as I do like to use it during warm weather especially, and it got me into a hobby that has lasted a long time and I enjoy it very much! Always appreciate your comments in writing and by word of mouth, as your positivism rubs off and helps me hold my head a bit higher than usual.
