Fire alters more than dinner plans
Margie Grubb, research technician in the Vivarium, expected to drive the hour
and a half distance to her home near Asheboro Saturday and go out to eat with her
husband.
"My husband called me at work Saturday and told me not to go by home but to
meet him at my parents' home because he wanted to go out to eat. I didn't know then
that he didn't want me to go by our house because it had burned down to the
ground," Grubb said.
Margie Grubb and her husband, a bricklayer, lost everything in their house when
an electrical fire erupted March 3 while they were both at work.
Working to meet insurance requirement
The couple had no insurance to cover their loss.
"We just never anticipated that something like this would happen to us," she said.
"The house was old and we were working on it so that it could meet the
requirements for insurance. We had rewired it and were adding brick
underlayings."
Grubb said that nothing was saved from the house.
"Our home was already burnt down to the ground when the firemen got there,"
she said. "Even the iron skillets in the kitchen melted. Our dog died in the fire."
Director hopes people will help
Dr. Joseph Wagner, director of the Vivarium, said he hoped people would help the
Grubbs.
"It is very unfortunate ... they were just getting started," Wagner said. "They can
use almost anything; furniture, appliances, kitchen ware, clothes, anything would
help tide them over."
Wagner said donated items could be brought to the basement area of the Nanaline
H. Duke Building and the Alex H. Sands Building.
"We're open from 8 a.m.-l p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays so people can bring
things over on the weekends," he said.
