On today's date, three years ago, 2-20-03, a fire ripped thru a night club called The Station, killing 100 people and injuring 200. I didnt know anyone personally but frequented The Station for various concerts over the years. However, they were people I probably saw everyday, maybe at the conveince store across my street or at the supermarket. People you get used to seeing and when something like this happens you ask why? I was living in Louisiana at the time of the fire but had I been home I would have been at that concert. There is no question in my mind, because Great White was one of my favorite 80's metal bands.

So on the third year anniversay, 2-20-06, I offer you these names. Remember them and be sure to tell those you care for that you love them. I wish I could offer a better tribute to you all :
