Gene and Mac are one of a kind! Many say, “You don’t find people like that anymore”, and they are right!
These two individuals have spent more than half of their lives giving to neighbors, strangers, and their entire
community, just to make it a better place. To take the words from the dedication of Chief Herbert Ranks, “The
Fire Department has always taken precedence in his life. It has been a prerequisite in every circumstance. No
matter what the occasion, if the whistle blows, he goes!!” Gene and Mac, are men cut from the same cloth that
have and continue to make a difference. Many past and current members are who they are today because of these
two men, myself included. Gene and Mac, from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!
Dedication of the Annual Town Report
