No word yet on this years Christmas Luncheon that usually occurs on the 1st Saturday in December. I know that L-16 has been housed at E-28 because of reconstruction of the apparatus floor in hopes E-6 will return to service. The Dinosaurs really look forward to this event every year so I hope it’s happening ( if possible)
