Ward Kimball was a lifelong friend and mentor. He loved telling about the early days at Disney and the adventures he had in preserving the Grizzly Flats equipment.I would often visit Ward and Betty while on LAX layovers.
His collection of early antique fire engines (some steam) was another interesting aspect of our visits. I have all of the Firehouse Five Plus Two albums and just listening to them brings back memories of this great man.
I dedicated the NEVADA CENTRAL book to Ward and included a chapter about his efforts to save and restore the "Emma Nevada".
