The first two 2022 Challenge Coins for 2022 SPAAMFAA Winter
Convention 2022 were presented to Mike and his son John. Mike
was very emotional when we presented the coin to him and
thanked us very much for using his 1925 Seagrave.
We thank Susan and John for setting up this meeting and allowing us to visit with Mike. He was happy to see us and especially his old buddy Lester Evans. They bantered back and forth about whether Seagrave or American LaFrance was the better truck. Of course you need to mention that this was the rig that Mike drove when he worked for the Tampa FD and that he was our first president.
Present for the presentation were, Susan and John Morris, Les Westlake, Lester Evans, Jim Slowiak, Wayne Middleton, Jim Briggs and Bob Romig.
