First Salisbury Beach muster in a long time(but not as long as Plum Island). Part of Salisbury Days festival so there will be plenty to do and see after the pumping is over!

RIP Schultzy. For a lot of us long timers and mid timers, there was never a time when Schultzy, officially or unofficially, wasn't the time keeper. He was generous with his time and help in musters and all sorts of endeavours, and you couldn't find any part of the state where he didn't have one or two friends in your neighborhood.

He will be missed greatly. Our thoughts are with his family and his Ould Newbury crew.

Hey All.

Generally the day after the last muster I do a little yearly summation and after action report.

Cause of various and sundry natural gas related happenings and goings on occuring this summer, I was only able to attend Mystic and that was pretty much my season, so I can't speak to that.

I wanted to thank very sincerely the members and friends of the Hancock VFA, and the crews of the T.W. Lane and Protection, and really anyone who's jumped on the tub over the past year.

I want to congratulate the winning teams, but especially the Quansigamog, who never fails to bring a crew and a s**t ton of enthusiasm

I hope everyone has a safe off season. We'll hopefully be back to fight next year.
