| FOUND: Former Mt. Carmel Volunteer Fire Co. president
and secretary, Ray Latini!
Ray was attending his first Engine 260
Muster in Milford when he was spotted by Karl Olson. We had been
trying to locate Ray since late last year.
Ray was very active in
company affairs from the mid-1970s until the early 1980s and served as
company secretary and president. He was happy to hear of the Centennial
Celebration and plans to attend the November 11th Centennial Dinner at the Elks.
