It's Lieutenant Dan!

Not really! It's Lieutenant Hugh!

Hugh was promoted recently, and the family attended the pinning ceremony celebrating this achievement on Tuesday evening.

Hugh had warned me that I would be doing the pinning, which was a terrible idea considering the fact that I have never managed to pin so much as a boutonniere without drawing blood.

Luckily, Oscar has a long history of bloodless pinnning, so I deferred to his superior skillset and handled the camera, which is more in my wheelhouse.

Plus, I love that Oscar gets to pin his son, given his history in the fire service. Their shared love for the work is commendable and should be recognized.


I love these side-by-side photos of Oscar and Hugh, each captured at the site of actual fires, and taken decades apart.


Congratulations, Lieutenant Dan Hugh!
