Big Fire at St. Andrews

Man, as I stated in my previous post, Steve and I always got back from Left Sagg at 6pm. In August 1965, arriving home on Division Street shortly after 6pm, the fire whistle went off. We were headed down street anyway as usual, and walking pass Cleveland's Superette, could see fire trucks down the road on Hampton and Union Streets. Arriving at the scene, heavy smoke was pouring out of the steeple of St Andrews church. We hung around while the firemen ran around and put out the fire which did extensive damage to the inside of the church. A few years ago I was sitting inside Ken Cullum's office, the village fire Marshall in East Hampton, and he showed me a old 8 x 10 black and white photo taken at the fire scene that night many years ago. There was old fashioned police car parked on Division Street and a large crowd standing in front of Stella Maris school. Unfortunately we were not in the crowd, when the photo was taken. We were probably in the back parking lot. It would have been cool to see ourselves in the old photo though. Oh Well.
