Maternal Pater Familias
Staying in the maternal line, this is my grandfather, William H. Ronan, Sr. at a Washington, DC Fire Department watch desk, probably in the 1940's. He retired about 1960 as Deputy Chief of the DCFD after 30 years of service, then worked for the State Department's USAID program as an advisor to the Fire Departments of Mexico City, Seoul, Korea and Saigon, Viet Nam, before retiring again to Tuscon, Arizona about 1963. I spent the best summer of my life with him in 1964 seeing the American Southwest.
