The FOIA information I received from each conflicts.

While browsing through Lynchburg, Virginia census records, I found his 1910 Census listing his occupation as a fireman and I thought, now there may be a story…

Received from Bloomington – all the redactions are theirs: I initially FOIA’d both cities at the same time because I knew the female had gone to the Normal Police Department for … A Fireman’s Story. This story concerns both Bloomington and Normal. He was the father of my grandmother, Cammie Swanson Lyons, my dad's mother. Follow. This is my favorite picture of my great-grandfather, William Domman Swanson! (See last weeks blog!) Firemen and their families speak about the day and its aftermath. Their courage and sacrifice made them national heroes but many have paid a terrible price for their bravery. From The Fire Memoirs comes-A Fireman’s Story. By Michael Patanella.

9/11: The Firemen's Story explores the dramatic stories of firemen on that fateful day; the stories of those who died, those who survived and those who still bear the scars. Thinking back, I enjoyed days that ended with thoughts of experiences and lessons from that day because they refocused me. Michael Patanella.
