Ca. 1947 Burke Campbell operated
a 15' train "near where El Chico used to be" on
E. Hi-Way 80 W and across the road from Johnny Cace's in
Longview. It had a steam engine. Dr. George Tate's (deceased)

Department
Patch |
Date Unknown. Designed
at the request of then Fire Chief Tommy McMasters. He wanted
a new patch for an upcoming change in uniforms. Several
persons submitted new designs. The Chief thought Ronald
Hollomons submission was original because of the yellow
fire hose and nozzle that borders the patch. The patch remained
unique for a decade until a city outside Austin, "Jollyville",
adopted it as is, with the Jollyville name in place of Longview. |
Thanks to Ronald Hollomon
for the information on this great patch! |
