Miracle on 33rd Street

Kids,

To continue...

Suddenly,
the phone rang.

It was Charlie,
a reporter from Ogden Standard-Examiner.

He called to check on my progress.

We had a photo shoot set up for
later in the day at the Central Fire Station.

I described to him my plight.

20 minutes later,
he and a photographer arrived on scene
to chronicle the days heartbreaking events.

I only had $150 cash,
so things weren't looking good.

Charlie arose to the occasion
and issued the call for "Help".

OK, so now back to Dean's...

I called to explain my situation.

Kelly, the owner sent a man down
for a preliminary look see.

It didn't look good,
the engine had siezed and would not turn over.

I rode back to Dean's not knowing what to expect.

Miraculously,
I was greeted with open arms.

Turns out Kelly's brother-in-law
was a Fire Captain in West Valley.

So, the call for "Help" went out,
within minutes he had a place to stay.

Ogden Fire Station # 4...imagine that??

Next on the agenda was a "Hook".

Kelly called his usual tow service,
they never did return his call.

So next on the list was Brett's Towing,
not 3 blocks away.

Here's the Fire Engine on the TV Monitor,

just outside,

and on the way in.

After the drop I got a shot of Mac, the driver

with Mr. Lincoln and a Lincoln Highway License Plate.

By that time it was dark and time to go home for the day,

so off to Fire Station #4 and my deluxe accomodations.

Chapter 62, the Tear Down is next.
