As a kid on my way to Luther League camp, we'd stop at Tobie's on the way. That Hinckley was famous for the fire didn't interest me until I was much older and could appreciate the scope and sweep of the tragedy. The story of Hans Paulson and the search for his family is a great way to convey the magnitude of devastation.
I drive by the Hinckley cemetery with the fire memorial every summer weekend - on the way to and from our cabin in Wisconsin. As a junior high student, our class took a trip to the nearby state park and along the way we visited the memorial and learned some of the history, but I had forgotten the details, and of course never knew the story of Hans Paulson. Very tragic.
It always feels wrong to like posts like this and to say that I am looking forward to further instalments. But I am sure that you know what I mean Sadie.
