About me: |
I graduated in 1956. I live 4 houses south of Iowa on Avers. I was a Junior at St Philips when the fire occured. For some reason I was delayed going home. I stopped at the library on North Ave. and walked home. I arrived at the latter part of the afternoon. I was there when the fireman carried the nun down the ladder over his sholder. It is an image that I want to forget, but will always remember. I do remember that a lot of the neighbors took the younger children into their homes to keep them warm. As a child, I played softball on Avers & Iowa - one of the better memories.
