I always enjoyed working with Captain John McLeod! What I didn't like
was the punishment for well timed zingers that were directed at him. I remember working with him at the
new #2 station at Richmond and Walker Rd. For some reason I always got more pleasure
receiving punishment when all the crew were present.
One morning during coffee after roll call I looked at John and thought, “who
does he remind me of????” The thought stayed with me and during soup the answer
came to me. Good grief, he resembles the Big Boy guy in front of their restaurant on Tecumseh Road. So, being fearless as I
was I asked him if he needed a part time job. He replied, “Not sure; what is
it?” I answered, “Well, Cap, if you have a pair of red
and white checker overalls you can stand in front of the Big Boy restaurant with a
tray and work for minimum wage!”
