| My daddy knew a photographer that snapped photo #20... or at least one that looked just like it. He had a B/W print that was 8.5" x 11" but the photo disappeared when dad passed away. I guess one of the family "secured" it. | |

You need to pull out some of your Dad's stuff and show it to me. | |

| Wow. Thank you for sharing that Bob.
I can never get over how many survivors of that tragedy there actually were... I have trouble making logical sense of it. | |

| Exactly... it makes me wonder how hot that fire actually burned. It must have been much lower than I think it was... much lower than a house fire or a common structure fire. Sure looks f'n scary as hell though. | |
