Wonderful that the 2 kids (or their parents) had the presence of mind to equip them with avalanche signals—a true life-saver. Our experience was more of thoughtfulness than emergency, but they were heroes nonetheless. A storm knocked down the two acacia trees in front of our house...one falling onto a parked car, partially crushing it. A fire truck chanced by, stopped, the firemen all climbed out, pulled the tree off the car, cut it up with their chain saw and piled the logs neatly in front of our house. The car owner could still drive his car and did so (no lawsuit, thank goodness). The firemen waved goodbye, climbed onto their truck, and went off, looking for more good deeds. Despite its big-city problems, San Francisco can be a small town, and a friendly one. Love, Uncle Don A friend once told me that New York (which I see as a big city) is just a series of villages. Sounds like San Francisco has that same quality! Leecie Enjoyed your note on heroic firemen, Leecie, and the fine photos of the emergencies in Durango.
