My husband and I were talking about some of the things--good and bad that have occured in our lifetimes. We both recollected a terrible
fire that happened when we were young. We did not remember where or when but both remembered seeing sketches on the television set. It
came as quite a shock when I googled what I knew- parochial fire
1950-1965 and came up with the exact date. We were only 9 years old at the time but the tragedy has stayed with us.After reading about the incident on your website, I am relieved to
hear that drastic changes in fire codes for schools were instituted and as you say probably saved numerous lives in the future. It is sad when you realize that we'll never know the full potential
of those whose lives were lost. BW
