Hello OT neighbors,
I just saw this disturbing post on the Marshall Fire Slack channel for
news.
Ed Sharp's very sweet modular home is in place on its foundation now, so
this news must be such a blow to Ed and his family. Please take a look and
let's brainstorm to see if there is some way we can rally support for Ed.

That beautiful man is my father in law and we have gone through so much
with his rebuild process. He spent last night with us and I told him I was
so glad that he had the attitude that he does. Makes life so much easier.
Modular house should be delivered in a week or so, just jumping through
hoops to get there!
Thank you all!

Hey there Janet,
What a nice note you wrote here. It does feel good to see progress
around the Original Town. I keep hoping for enough warm weather for
concrete to happen at my place and have the same hopes for everyone else at
that stage. From there on, things should really take off.
The gentleman you described at 4th & William is Ed Sharp, one of my best
friends in town for as long as we’ve both lived there (only 48 yrs for
me). I loved his wife Ruby who passed about a year before the fire, and
his son Roland still comes over to help out. We sometimes shared help &
car parts in our respective “dream shops” and stories galore with ol Danny
too. Yes, he does have a great attitude & I’m so glad he’s gotten started
on his rebuild.
Best to you all,
Ross (& Kathy) Morgan

*Subject:* [OriginalTown] OT Progress
Hi All,
Since the new year, I am increasingly seeing signs of progress in
Original Town! I did notice, just in the last couple of weeks, all kinds
of diggers and workers seem to be crawling all over Daryl and Bob McCool's
and Ross and Kathy Morgan's properties. There are many more OTers showing
progress; I am sorry I don't know names. Congratulations to all!
If you haven't driven through OT in a while, do take a little tour--it
will make your heart swell with hope for OT renewal. And Sagamore's homes
are popping everywhere like excited, wide-eyed prairie dogs. It is just so
good to see life and love coming back into our community.
About 10 days ago, my pooch Lucy and I for the first time since the fire
went out walking on our circuitous route through open space, Coal Creek
Crossing. and OT, like we used to before the fire. I met a gentleman, age
80, who told me he had lived on his property at the corner of 4th and
Williams (i think it was) for 50 years. He was watching a couple small
diggers beginning work on his foundation. I didn't get his name, but I
told him I remembered walking by his "retired gentleman's Shangri-La"--with
a dream shop for puttering, always a good garden growing, and cozy little
white house with mature trees in the yard. That was all gone now of
course, but I congratulated him on his ground-breaking, and told him that I
was sorry he wouldn't have that same little Shangri-La that he used to
have. He responded by simply saying, "I can't live in the past; I can only
move into the future." What a remarkable comment from an 80 year old! He
still lifts my spirits everytime I think about him saying that.
The OT email list has gone quiet for a while. Perhaps folks are
communicating in other ways. I do hope everyone is finding their way
forward, whatever that path may be. I only wanted to wish everyone good
cheer and hope for a new fresh start on your next life chapters! My little
Lucy pooch and I hope to see more of you out there this spring and summer!
Warm regards,
Janet Rodina
