Thanks for your concern. That's been 16 or 18 years ago. Nothing was lost but stuff.
No injuries to anyone. It happened while we were out to dinner. The whole
apartment complex caught fire. My daughter, her hubby and my granddaughter
lived in the same apartment building. They also lost all their stuff. Faulty
wiring.

I, too, have lost stuff to disk crashes. Never fun. But in the long run, I can be
pretty Zen about it. Just stuff.

I lost my father to cancer as well. That's always a hard experience.
