Photos Please!!! No.. not the fire, the photos of his car collection...
Not a friendly neighbor. I’ve only heard rumors of the car collection. He turned a horse barn into an auto barn — not a popular thing to do in this neighborhood. We know the contractor who lost the bid to do the remodeling and extension. The previous owner of our property almost didn’t sell it to us because she didn’t trust us because we didn’t have (and weren’t going to have) horses. Of course, she was a bit of a nut.
The interesting thing is that none of the fire department members who blocked my road and staked out a fire perimeter would even talk about how the fire started. It turned out that (from the newspaper) he had a burn permit that got out of hand. It was such a windy day that I cannot imagine the city giving him a burn permit. I think somebody was doing a little CYA. No charges were brought, as far as I know.
