For more than 60 years, firefighters from St. Paul Firefighters Local 21 have brought a carnival to current and former Gillette patients. The first carnival, held on the shores of Lake Phalen in 1960, was started by Burt Behr, a St. Paul fire captain whose two boys were treated for polio at Gillette. Bill Lee is a retired St. Paul firefighter, who’s been helping to stage the carnival since 1988 and participating in it since 1979
