Robert Guthrie celebrates his 80th Birthday

Retired Captain Robert Guthrie celebrated his 80th birthday today at Saint Timothy Lutheran Church. His family threw a small celebration to mark the milestone. His birthday is actually on November 13th, although they celebrated it today.

Captain Guthrie has been a source of a lot of historic information during my quest to learn as much as possible about the Department. Thanks to FF Barry Kincer for the pictures.

Yes he is! A real life leather-lung smoke eater. I never had the privilege of working in his company, but did work opposite shift. Truly a class act and a genuinely nice man.
