John W. Hawkinson was an antique collector living in Gabriels, specializing in antique vehicles. Widely known as Hawkeye, he worked summers at Lone Pine Camp, driving and maintaining the 1933 REO Speed Wagon that was used to take the campers on mountain climbing trips.In 1962 he bought Saranac Lake's 1926 American-LaFrance fire engine, which is said to be still in good running order. He also bought a 1928 Peter Pursch fire truck from the town of Keene in 1961, and sold it back to the town's fire department in 1985; a news account noted that after being in storage for 24 years, the truck started up in less than 60 seconds.
