Linn,

I'm attaching a picture for you if you're interested in posting it to the site. This is both A and B Shifts from the RAF Woodbridge Fire Dept., circa 1984. I'm standing dead center, second row. I could name some of the people there but not all. You'll see it looks like it's been raining but everything is wet because we'd just finished washing the trucks before getting this picture taken. It was actually a nice morning in Suffolk (surprisingly).

Anyway, I must tell you how great I think your site is. I've read all the messages left by people who've visited it and echo their comments on how nostalgic and heart-warming it was to see and read about those things I remember so well. I was there from 81-85 and met my wife in Ipswich. I was only 23 in this picture.

You've done an outstanding job with that site and I appreciate the memories it brought back for me. Thanks for all your work and hope you feel this pic is worth posting. I think it would make a great addition to your site.

John
