Tom sang of the fire at the Macintyre Mine in Timmins where my grandfathers both worked and where as a kid we grandkids were taken to the depths the miners worked. All very exciting to ride in the buckets so far below ground level. Perhaps my claustrophobia and hatred of worms started then. lol Several years ago a cousin became Mayor for a few years...I haven't been back there since mid 70's.
