Burnt into Memory: How Brownfield Faced the Fire
In the space of a few hours on October 23, 1947, an irresistible wildfire destroyed almost all of the small western Maine town of Brownfield. Neighbors fought and fled the fire, then returned, determined to rebuild their community as best they could. Drawing on interviews with townspeople, letters, photographs, and newspaper reports, Radner tells an epic story of terror, courage, generosity, and hope.
Jo is offering this free performance of “Burnt into Memory” as a benefit for her dear chum Michael Parent, brilliant Maine storyteller, in gratitude for his wise coaching many years ago when she was first creating the story. Michael is now living with a complex range of profound illnesses; his friends are gathering funds for his long-term care and medical costs. You can make a tax-deductible contribution to Michael’s fund at https://michaelmedicalcare.wordpress.com.
