On March 15, 2002, Bill Hollick, long time member of RK Mass Chapter-1 stepped down from his position as Director of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy and began his retirement. Bill had been an active member of the fire service for 37 years; as a Hudson Firefighter, Officer, Chief of the Department, and a Fire Academy Instructor. For the past 16 years he was one of the administrative leaders at the Academy and for the past five years its Director. There are a number of Red Knights who serve as instructors with the Fire Academy and they and over 100 other firefigthers, MFA staff, family and friends were on hand to wish Bill well at the beginning of his new journey in life. |
On our annual train ride into Boston, we walked into Charlestown. As we crossed the Charlestown Bridge we stopped for a moment at this memorial in memory of Lt. Steve Minehan. Lt. Minehan perished in a warehouse fire on that site in June 1994 as he searched for other lost firefighters. |
Had a great time on Cape Cod with all our friends from around Massachusetts | Not really Red Knights related, but UMass Police (Amherst) just took delivery of a new Harley... |
