My new pin. Aren't we all members of this team?

Flat round pin. At center, against a black background, is a green dumpster from which red and white flames rise. Around the pin's edge, in a band of orange, are the words DUMPSTER FIRE RESPONSE TEAM.

Research in pie history: The Hartford [Maine] Custard Pie Association, to which Massachusetts Governor & President William McKinley's Secretary of the Navy John Davis Long belonged. The annual meeting featured, for a while, custard pies baked in milking pans: 4" high, 10-16" in diameter.
