Young Men and Fire This Wednesday

After last night's great win for the Pats, it's time to turn our attention to the next big New England event, the Young Men and Fire discussion this Wednesday, from 7-9pm in the Used Book Cellar.  If you plan to attend, please send me a quick note so that I can make sure we are properly set up and provisioned.

If you'd like to come, but haven't quite caught up with your reading, I can offer a couple of crib sheet solutions.  The first, courtesy of Ralph Blair is official report from the US Forest Service, Mann Gulch Fire: A Race That Couldn't Be Won.  But perhaps more useful is this music video for Cold Missouri Water by Cry, Cry, Cry and sent along by Todd Whitten.  It's a Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald kind of thing and filled with a surprising amount of detail from the book if you listen closely.

One way or the other, I hope you will find a way to join us on Wednesday night.  Let me know.
