Just wanted to send a tremendous thank you to the Varna, Freeville, Etna, Groton and Dryden Fire Departments who worked through the night and into the afternoon. Varna FD was there for over 14 hours!!!! Also a thank you to the State Troopers, local police, State Fire, Dryden Code Officers, NYS Homeland Security, the Red Cross and the Investigators who worked through the night.
Chris Kappler, thank you for banging on my door to wake me up! Laura has nothing to worry about, I'm glad you did! Brian Atzberger was by my side all day being my rock. Some of the crew met at the Dryden Hotel later for drinks and reminiscing.
Thank you all, friends and local businesses, for you outpouring of support! All of you have made this difficult time a little more bearable! We will rebuild, we will come back, but it will never be the same. 😢 (I'm not posting pictures, there's enough out there)
