Hanover used the 1969 rear mount Seagraves until 2006 when it was sold to a private collector. That collector in turn sold the truck to Mr. Shoop in October 2011. Life Member and Antique Fire Truck Collector George Kaiser was looking to purchase another vehicle. He had a tentative deal on a truck that fell through. He then found the old 06-5 on the internet. George contacted Mr. Shoop just in time. Mr. Shoop had begun to strip the truck in preparation to scrap it. The crew arrived at 10am and after transferring the truck, photograph's and lunch the crew headed home around 1pm. The trip home took 4 and a half hours and was uneventful except for a frayed generator belt. It was good to see and hear the "Queen" back in town. More photograph's will be posted as George restores the truck.
