Horrible news this morning. One of our best friends and neighbors..Heath Brown's house caught fire this morning. Not only has he lost "needed" things, but also a lot of memorabilia. He had many old things that belonged to his family, pictures, etc..just so hard to understand why things like this happen. I know this is a very tough time and will be tough for a while for him. He's such a good hearted fellow and I hate to see him having to deal with it. But he will prevail, I know it.

Just to give a background, Heath's father was good friends with Bill's father, Benji. Benji wrote to Heath's father while fighting Vietnam. Luckily Heath had given that letter to Bill a while ago so it's at our house and Heath had given me two old pictures of his family and Bill's together too..so it's saved as well.

Hopefully more things will be pulled from the home that can be saved...let's just hope.
