âJust one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.â â Dalai Lama
Just a thought for today and hopefully a smile . If all the mail carriers, Amazon, and FedEx drivers would be allowed to inoculate us with the vaccine for COVID, we would be all set, especially if you have Prime.
No offense intended against the nurses, doctors, and medical staff, you have done a fabulous job since the beginning of this horrific pandemic. This has been such a difficult year for all of us, but especially for those who have lost loved ones. Our essential workers need a round of applause.
KINGSTON – After more than 23 years as chief of the Kingston Volunteer Fire Department No. 1, George T. Luck Jr. has retired as chief of the department.
Luck joined the department in 1966 – which encompasses Franklin Township Fire District No. 4 and South Brunswick Fire District No. 3 – serving four separate terms as chief for a total of 23 years over the course of his more than 54 years in the fire service.
“My father, grandfather and three uncles were all members of the company, so one reason was family tradition. As a young boy I remember the excitement that was generated in the house when the fire siren blew to alert the members there was an emergency,” he said. “I would run up the street to watch the fire trucks leave the building on the way to the call. I joined the department as a junior member as soon as I was eligible.”
