Last night Chris and I attended the 98th Annual Banquet of the Penndel Fire Company. I am continually amazed at the dedication of the men and women volunteers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our residents safe. Three other fire companies – Parkland Fire Company,, Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company and William Penn Fire Company – work with PFC to protect the citizens of Middletown Township.
Sitting at our table was a fellow Neshaminy High School Class of 64 graduate, Rich Schramm. Rich has been serving the people of his community as a volunteer firefighter since his was 16 and is regularly one of the top responders in his company. He also serves as the Fire Safety Officer. Two other NHS classmates – Tony Esposito and John Cosgrove – were also at the dinner and we all had sort of a mini-reunion.
It is hard to be cynical about public service when you meet the men and women of our volunteer fire companies. Their only reward is the satisfaction they get from being there when needed. I hope that I live up to their standards in my service on the Middletown Board of Supervisors.
