Gregg Arthur Atlas

Gregg Atlas, a firefighter with the New York Fire Department, grew enough food in his quarter-acre garden to feed his whole family. “We actually raised 12 or 13 cows -— not bad for a city kid,” said his wife, JoAnn. “They were sold for dairy and for beef as well.” Atlas joined the department in 1981, and his three brothers also are firefighters. “He loved it very much. After 20 years with the Fire Department, he told me he wasn’t ready to retire because he’d miss all the guys,” his wife said. --The Associated Press
