Otto Grote, an analyst with Derby Securities Inc., values the company at about $22.50 a share, well above what its stock is currently trading at.
Seventy-five years ago, Grote helped form the fire department that protects this town of 3,200 residents on the lower Connecticut River.
Grote's home is a monument to his second career and first love. His uniform, festooned with gold braids and stars, hangs where it can be quickly brought out for display.
