Dear editor,
We owe some people a big thank you. First, Bernadine Snodgrass. When she went out her front door Sunday morning she saw smoke coming out of our garage. She called it in quickly. Since we were at church and not home, if she had not acted so quickly we might not have a home today. And to Ed and Rita next door for giving us chairs to sit in and their cool front room in the heat while the fire department did their job, thank you.
And to the Iola Fire Department a huge thank you. We are pleased with the professional work you did in putting out the fire so quickly. But we are also thankful for the care and concern you showed us as individuals as well as our property during the whole process.
