GREENPORT, N.Y. — Bob Jester still remembers the delight he felt as a young boy when he’d see his father, Walter, turn the corner while driving the Greenport Fire Department’s 1933 Mack truck.
Some youngsters might have felt the same last week when the beautiful red truck passed by in Southold Town’s Memorial Day parade.
More than 60 years after the pumper was retired from service — and two decades since the last effort to refurbish it — Mr. Jester and three fellow fire department volunteers have spent the past 2 1/2 years restoring the truck to its current, nearly complete, state.
