I was on Fire Rescue from September of 1984 until I graduated in 1989. I took a year off to get my Paramedic back in 1988. Everyone knew me as "Higgins", Magnum PI's boss from TV! We were a tight bunch! It didn't matter what year you were, freshman or senior, we looked out for each other. We trained hard! Above all we were extremely loyal to St. Michael's College and the surrounding community. Pappy [the founder of SMFR] instilled a sense of community in what we did. We spent time with the Winooski Police and Fire Dept. members; Colchester Center members as well as all the surrounding towns.
It was the best (and fastest!) four years of my life! I didn't want it to end. I am still a paramedic after 25+ years and now I am a full-time Fire Chief in Massachusetts. It doesn't get much better than this! Lot's of hard work, but it was worth it! And St. Mike's had a lot to do with it!
Let me know if can be of any help to anyone!
