Well, the Fair Haven Fire Department grounds were flush with oldies on Sunday — cars, trucks and some old-timers themselves.

Funny thing is that some of those so-called old timers were newbies in the fire company back in the late 1970s.

Well, it’s just how the passage of time and tradition go, really.

It was 1979 when the fire department celebrated its 75th anniversary. And that year also marked a milestone for some young boys who dreamt of being firemen.

So, the Retro Pic of the Day offers a glimpse back at those guys when their fathers were probably around the age they are now.

Some of these faces are quite familiar around the firehouse grounds.   Recognize them in their junior years? How about their mentors?
