Summary

H.E. "Sonny" Cannon, the Chief of the Brunswick Volunteer Fire Department and Master of Ceremonies, hands the microphone to Mayor James Cummings in May, 1961. The Mayor then turned over the first shovelful of dirt for the new Ambulance & Rescue Company, while ambulance company president Clair Ebersole looks on.

The land for Ambulance & Rescue headquarters was originally occupied by Wenner's City Meat Market, which was destroyed by fire in September, 1959.

The Ambulance Company headquarters at 200 W. Potomac Street was completed and dedicated in 1962.

Doris Kelley Barker I do know that Clair Ebersole was one of the first people in the Ambulance Company. Great picture. My dad, Frank Kelley tole me that when Sonny Cannon was only 18, a long time ago, that he had the first microphone in Brunswick and lent it to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the back of his railroad car when the train stopped at Brunswick and te president used his microphone—how great is that. Sonny and Louise accumulated the best sound system anywhere and used to use it at the York, PA Fair every year. Sonny and Louise were special people in our lives.

Debra Ferrell The building at 200 West Potomac was placed in use in 1962.

Ed Johnson What a great picture of some unbelievably dedicated people!!!
