International & National Associations & Organizations This is one of many sections that contain information, documents, letters, newspaper articles, pictures, etc. They have been collected and arranged in chronological order. These items were collected, organized and entered into a computerized database by Al Ring with the help of many friends and fellow firefighters. All graphics have been improved to make the resolution as good as possible, but the reader should remember that many came from copies of old newspaper articles. This also applies to other items such as documents, letters, etc. Credit to the source of the documents, photos, etc. is provided whenever it was available. We realize that many items are not identified and regret that we weren t able to provide this information. As far as the newspaper articles that are not identified, 99% of them would have to be from one of three possible sources. The Courier- Journal, The Louisville Times or one of the Voice publications. Please use this information as a reference tool only. If the reader uses any of the information for any purpose other than a reference tool, they must get permission from the source. If you have additional information on the above subject that you would share, please contact me (Al Ring) at ringal@comcast.net. 1 1
