As Dahm admired his gift, Miller said that the crew fully expected
Dahm to put the smoker to good use and bring them a good lunch from
time to time.
Dahm also spoke briefly, thanking the chief and his fellow
firefighters for the recognition. He noted that indeed there has
been a lot of change over the last thirty years, “all for the
better, and you young guys will see a lot of change too.”
Everyone was invited to stay and enjoy a piece of retirement cake,
visit and send Dahm off with their best wishes.
