So, I screwed up and made this a business page instead of a private group.
Guess I will start a new group page and delete this one.
Damn. LoL

I can't figure out to let people add photos or a post in general.

Anyone?

Willow Spring Towing & Recovery Inc. Established in 1941 by Woodrow W. Herring Sr. in Fairfax County, Va.
Woody sent some if these via messenger and I got a few off of his page. I worked for the Herring family for damn near 15 years, learned a helluva lot while there.
These old photos makes the young bucks wonder how they got things done back then.
From the homemade pipe wrecker, which had a 30,000lbs Garwood winch, to the shiny lit up new hydraulics, they've seen it all.
The last snap is Woody's other passion, playing music. He's actually pretty good at carrying a tune! LoL
Congrats on your 80th year in the industry.

Pure gold here, this is good stuff!
1)Ken's Truck Repair KW with a Holmes 750, "Dirty Dozen" was the name on this bad ass wrecker.
2)Powells Towing pullin' a heavy SOB back in the day. Ashby is a good man, been around the block.
3)Henry's Wrecker Service, my first love. Haha
4&5) Ward's Shell, that sharp as hell Holmes 750 on that Pete, affectionately known as the "Chattooga Choo-Choo" was undeniably famous. The Ward's still own this piece of wrecker history.
*Edit* I messed up, Ken's was a Wreck Master unit.

Besides being a totally bad ass picture, I like how there's only one flatbed in it. LoL
Woody & Carol treated me like family, it's a good place to work. This year they celebrate 80 years of continuous service. Congrats to the Herring family.

Ok... all the tow truck drivers, companies etc. dump trucks, big rigs or anyone that wants to join in.
As most of us in the Towing World and any type of other trucking and automotive business for miles and miles around Charlottesville, know Henry Shaver & WJ Shaver of Albemarle Towing. Henry"s health is declining and we are going to do a living tribute to the man that has been a backbone to the towing community for as long as I can remember. On Sunday morning at 8am we are going to line up behind the Foodlion at Forest Lakes (Rt. 29 north of Charlottesville at Proffit Road) and do a drive by Henry's home, where Henry and his family will be waiting and watching, and go to Baker-Butler School parking lot where Wendy is going to bring Henry to see everyone. There is going to be Police, Fire, EMS, Tow Trucks, Dump Trucks, Rigs you name it from all across the counties and state and anyone else who wants to come.
Kenny Baugher is going to open Riverside North early for anyone wanting to return there to have lunch.
Phil Patterson & Amy Short (Patterson Auto Body) and I had discussed this idea a few weeks ago and unbeknownst to me, they ran with it and it is on fire. I get a call today and it is on. I love Henry and he loved my dad and Im proud to be able to be a part of this so tell every tow company you know and make sure they know about this.
Thanks Phil and Amy
