| | Man heeds siren call of vintage firetrucks Oakland Tribune - Find Articles |
 | | Yet Whitecastle, a 65-year-old retired construction worker (who doesn't like his picture taken because "it's all about the trucks, not me," he said) and a former military man (although he won't say what branch, only that he broke his back "in'Nam") collects the trucks with a passion. |
 | | So while many are still on the former base, some are at a couple of yards around the East Bay (but he won't say where, because people like to steal the emblems, for their vast emblem collections, no doubt). |
 | | Indeed, Whitecastle, a stocky man with dark hair and some gray in his bushy eyebrows, regularly takes some of his trucks to local schools to show the old workhorses to the young kids. |
