If you recall a few weeks ago, I stated that I was thinking of plunging into a few book writing projects. This is something that goes beyond just sitting down and writing a news article.
For the past several years I have been contemplating writing a book on the Broad Top areaâs three volunteer fire companies. I think the time has come to put the project on the front burner and get it done.
As the old saying goes, I have been âchasing fire trucksâ for many years going to fires, motor vehicle accidents and other emergencies for both The Daily News and this newspaper. Believe you me folks this is not something I enjoyed doing because there was always suffering and loss involved, but as the late Jon Baughman and I agreed, it was news and people needed to be kept informed on what was happening around them.
