"With nearly 40 years of service in the Lewiston and Auburn fire departments, retired Chief Clifton Smith has rooms filled with memorabilia.

"Remembering the stories behind them is a different matter. Dementia has burned a hole in the memory of the bright-blue-eyed man. While he has retained his signature smile, laugh and happy demeanor, the gripping disease has clouded his memory for the most part. But not always."

A recent Sun Journal article profiled Chief Smith and his extensive collection.
