Aha:

Maybe I'm not losing it after all. Jeff, how did you know that? The legend

of the time was that the siren effects can from Ray Crowder ambulances in

Fort Worth.

Well, honestly, I cheated. I looked it up on the net.

Although I do remember the song well.

As long as we're going over the good ole' days, anyone

remember a TV show in the late '70s called

" 240- " with Mark Harmon?

All the Bloodrock albums are available on CDs at one or two of the more popular

" buy it online " places (Amazon, etc.). Didn't realize they had seven until I

looked. Know I wore out several of them back " then " .

Steve,

All correspondents on here who refer to anybody else as " old " are required to

state their ages and provide proof thereof through at least two documents.

Yeah, I'm OLD. I'm so damn OLD and DECREPIT I just spent a month running up

and down ruins in Thailand and Cambodia in 95 degree heat and 100% humidity,

scuba diving, snorkeling, riding elephants and river and sea kayaking.

Yeah, I saw MJ & S when it first came out and drove a Buick Stationwagon

ambulance. It would go 130, but the lights dimmed when you hit the Q.

Yee Haw, Rock & Roll!

I remember a contest as to how fast we could go through the toll booths on

the old Dallas/Forth Worth tollroad. I remember taking a Modulance through

there in excess of 90 mph and sucking every single punch card out of the

booth. Yeah, we got in trouble....until the next shift.

You are a mess, Gene. A song is coming to mind right now " I don't need your

rocking chair, your geritol, or you medicare- I still have blood in my veins,

and this grey hair dont mean a thing.... " ( - " I don't need your

rocking chair " ).....

I won't refer to ya'll as old... just a bit older than me :-)

I think we need an EMS museum here in Texas..... Put some of these " old " style

ambulances on display with younger looking wax figures of the Gene Gandy's, Dr.

Bledsoe's etc of the day that worked on them............ Just a thought...

Make us relive history........... I would love to have seen you guys back " in

the day " ........ I can only imagine what ya'll did!

Don't take offense Gene....I would never call someone " old " if I wasn't in

the same demographic! I'm right there with you and Bob and also saw (or

lived) MJ & S when it first came out. The only difference in the movie and the

company I worked for, was our " radio system " was a row of dimes taped to the

dashboard to use in case you got lost (yes kids you could make a phone call

with a dime back then). The problem was that if you ever needed to stop and

make a call the adhesive from the tape kept the coin from dropping into the

phone. It was better to not get lost.

believe I rate the title of " EMS Geezer " as well!

Have to admit I do know who Chuck Curtis is/was actually worked for Chuck Curtis

for a whole week one time when the company moved to dallas hmmm must have been

in about 1986 or so. They had the ME contract in Dallas at that time which

required at least one EMT-B on the truck that transported the deceased to the

ME's office at Parkland. Being that I'm a relative newcomer to EMS having

started in 1981 I was lucky in the first ambulance I rode was 1976 Chevy

Suburban High Top though our back up unit was a 1969 ( I think) Caddy. Wasn't

long after that we moved way up and started working out of a Ford Low Top Van

with home made cabinets (wooden). That was after the Service moved out of the

Nursing home, which had been providing all ambulance responses. Thanks for

bringing back memories of the good old days.

Barry,

I'm not sure that " EMS Geezer " is an honorable title. Perhaps, it just

means that we were too stupid, preoccupied or lazy to find another

career - back when we were young enough to do so.

Okay, Bob. You're right, that is a little tacky.

This was the only career that I found myself fully drawn to. I had originally

started college to become a teacher, but I'd find myself waiting, bored and

impatient, during lectures, praying for the Minitor on my hip to go off.

How does the term : " Seasoned EMS Professional " grab you?

What about the ems-l list. Does it accept attachments and would it be

appropriate to post the pictures there? Most of us could then see them.

I regretfully remember a guy named Carr that was around about

the same time. I had the unfortunate pleasure of working for for him

for about 1.5 weeks till I figured out I wasn't making a dime due to

his shady buisness practices. My first job in EMS at the good old age

of 18. Glad I got away from that deal as quick as I did. We

definently had some winners running ambulance services back then.
