Firemen killed
I know this is off topic, but if you haven't heard: There was a major fire in Listowels downtown last evening in which two Firemen where killed. One of the firemen may be a relative of a close friend of mine, don't have any details yet. My thoughts and prayers go to the families and their fire fighting comrads.

It's quite a tragedy. I have great admiration for volunteer firefighters who drop whatever they're working on to risk their own lives in order to protect other people's lives and property.

What a difference a day can make.
Truly tragic, we've all lost family and friends I'm sure but to lose someone in such an abrupt fashion like a fire must hurt so much just because you never really get the chance to tell those folks how you feel.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of those two fire fighters.

These men and women give of them selves freely. It sucks when life calls the cards. I have family in Listowel.
Their gift can never be repaid.

Listowel is going to be a busy,quiet and solemn place this weekend. Main street will be closed for the funeral procession. The arena will be packed, but there is a television link in Atwood Community Centre and at the Listowel Legions Parkview Auditorium. We are expecting about 10,000 people for this. I had heard that a TV station, I beleive it was A Channel news, was making a mockery of this and I don't wish any hard feelings, but if you can't do a better telecast, then just BUGGER OFF!! Sorry for the rant guys. John
