Photo below: Middletown Police Officers Augie
LaFrance (left) and Ron Cammeyer (right) question Russ Eick about
his operating a gun turret on Main St. without a permit. Russ
claimed that the four .50 caliber machine guns were unloaded
and that no rounds were fired. The officers, however, weren't
so sure and continued to interview witnesses. |

Photo above: In addition to the M-16 half-track
and LaSalle Army sedan, another WWII vehicle at the Dedication
caused a lot of double-takes from spectators and passers-by.
This was an authentic 1941 Dodge weapons carrier with a water-cooled
.30 cal. machine gun. It's driver and owner, Charles Warkowski
of Prospect, CT, is an avid member of the Connecticut Military
Vehicle Collectors Club (COMVEC). |
