| Many thanks to Caroline
and to Janet Mouler for this sad news:
To all who have known and loved the Linville barn: The fire, out of control for the entire night, consumed everything. A large pond, apparently the source of fire control for the property, has gone dry and water had to be trucked in from other places. The orchards are untouched.
