My step-grandpa, Carl Richard Bischoff, died in Arizona yesterday after a five year fight with multiple myeloma. One of the most altruistic men I've ever known, he stepped in as a surrogate grandfather to me when my stepmom, BJ, became part of our family.
1/16
Almost 15 years ago we both under went surgeries- me dental surgery and Carl for colon cancer- like two freshman college roommates we were holed up together unexpectedly at BJ's house - eating soft foods, hopped up on pain killers and watching bad television for a week.
2/16
It was my first chance to get to know Carl, this man who was a new part of my family tree. He was born in 1933, the day after me, August 27, in Lancaster, PA. (We often celebrated our birthdays together!)
👏Forward progress stopped👏
This means the fire is no longer spreading, but it is not necessarily at 100% containment.
🔥1/4 acre
Crews will be on scene for 3 hours
I will update THIS THREAD for the time being with any new information. 👇
This is on the Napa-Sonoma border, honestly. Just east of Sugarloaf State Park.
#WallFire is located in the Nuns Fire scar. That's "my" fire. And don't get excited - 2017 fire scars are ready to burn again - if you live here, you know.
