Rosie ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Michael Farmer=20 To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com=20 Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 8:50 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Fire, My house Once again here is some fire information about the Rodeo fire in = Arizona.=20 The link below is a CNN article posted today, the photo is the remains = of my family home in Pinedale. I did an interview with Mattingly = yesterday, but do not know if it aired on CNN yet.=20 http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/01/mattingly.otsc/index.html I grew up from 1985 to 1991 in the town of Pinedale Arizona. Tiny = town, only about 200 people. A little larger now, but not much. I loved = it there, and have many fond memories of that house. It was one of the = first homes to burn in the fire when it overran the town on Thursday = June 20. I was in Europe with Jim Strope and when I got the news about = the fire, I was going crazy for the rest of the trip. Many of my friends = have been burned out. I took my sister Kim out there yesterday and she = was crying most of the time. It used to be beautiful green forest, = Ponderosa Pines, the largest stand of this tree in the world, stretching = from west of Flagstaff into New Mexico. Now in the area that fir burned, = (Almost the same size as the entire state of Rhode Island), there is = mostly burned twigs, moonscape we call it, black and white ash. Little = else remains.=20 I toured a place called Timberland Acres this morning, I was one of = the first people in there. It is a large area of mountains and roads = with homes scattered all about, now looks like a horror movie after a = Nuclear bomb blast, few trees, mostly rubble piles that used to be = homes. Large homes.=20 I knew the area like the back of my hand, now with everything burned, = I could hardly find my way around.=20 My sister is fine, scared for a week, but ok, but so much = destroyed, the road from Show Low to Forest Lakes is 50 miles, ALL of it = burned, 5 towns in between partly or mostly burned.=20 Mike Farmer ------=_NextPart_000_003A_01C2214F.0FDD75A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>((hugs))</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hang in there....
