No Spacemen, These

February 18, 1961, Oshkosh Daily Northwestern
Menasha shows off its best 1961 fire fighting apparatus in this Northwestern feature.  And naturally, in the midst of the "space race," any opportunity to mention astronauts or space could not be ignored.

  1. Thanks for posting this. Jim Willis was my dad and this picture was taken before I was born so it was pretty neat to see and read. Keep up the good work!

  2. Maribeth, This posting brought back memories of your dad and mom. Your mom did not appreciate the "Warsaw Street Boys" playing football in the field next to your house - when your dad was trying to sleep. Older and wiser now (hopefully), I/we understand and do appreciate. Jim Long
