Hello, welcome to Just One B week at the BnB! Today for Episode 84, I'm bringing you a story of a heroic mother who saved the lives of her large family when their home was consumed in a Christmas fire 62 years ago.
Rosemary Shayotovich Swiger Starry thought of nothing except the safety of her bedridden husband and her eight children when their Christmas tree caused a house fire in the early morning hours of December 26, 1961. Rosemary's story made headlines across the country that year, but her selfless bravery deserves to be remembered today.
Also, please take this as a reminder to check your decorations and electrical devices to prevent a house fire--and make sure your family never find themselves in this terrifying situation. Only a few minutes of your time could save someone's life.
We've left a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge for you, and I've reserved the biggest room here at the BnB so you can get some quiet and have a little nap. Fat chance with Puss wandering the halls....
Take good care of yourselves--I'll be back in two weeks with a guest that you've met before and everyone loved!
Meow!
