Simon, I didn't see your original message but thanks to Deirde, I did find it. Unfortunately for you, I can't find two of my books on the fire dept. I know that they are somewhere in my computer room but........ There is a picture of George A. Klein in the 100th Anniversary History Book that was published in 1970 but, with a 50 year time difference, it can't be the same man. When I do find the books, I'll let you know. One with probably the best history was written by a high school buddy who was on the Mt Lebanon FD. The department itself is not known for keeping any worthwhile records. Company officers are told they must keep all records for 7 years in case of litigation. After that most are thrown out. I once found a payroll book from back around the turn of the century that was laying on the floor of the attic for old #16 at Penn and Lang. Why it was there is beyond me but I wish that I had "borrowed" it. Hell, for all I know, it's still there but that was over 35 years ago.
