Remembers 1971 storm night as though it were yesterday Linda Waggener writes: I remember the storm as if it were yesterday, fearful most of all for the safety of the tiny baby boy, Pen, who'd been entrusted to my care just a couple of months before.

Thankfully we were all safe that night but we joined the community mourning those six who were lost. --lindaComments re article 66963 Six lost their lives in storm 43 years ago today __________________________________ 2014-04-28 21:49:19 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins column is weekly, usually of a Sunday. The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins/Travelogue: Critique of Branson By Carol Perkins I have a new allergy. It's call "stove" allergy and will not allow me to stand close to a stove or an oven without breaking out in hives and wheezing.
