Fire- The Bad Kind

Hey All,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to put up any posts today. There was a fire in Alfred this morning, everyone is ok, but it hit us pretty close. It was the Alfred Sports Center that burned and that place was important to us. Mrs, Rose used to work there and our old place was rented from Phil and Len Curran  who own the Sports Center.

Also Ro's old co-workers Tara and Trina are now out of a job. If you are reading this in the Alfred Area and have work for them please let me know. They are great people who I will completely vouch for and this is a horrible thing to happen to them.

Alfred is a small town and something like this effects everyone.

Here are some pictures I took of the event.

How awful -- the good thing about a close knit community is everyone jumps in to help in a crisis -- hope the recovery is swift. Good thing no one was hurt.

i heard and saw all the sirens and trucks whizzing past this morning and could not believe it when i discovered what had happened. i think the wine shop is gone and last i heard they were working on saving the jet. incredible photos. the university is looking for clothing donations for all the displaced students. my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was affected by this tragedy. thanks for the post!
