to appear like a fool at a class reunion.
(Here's where you're supposed
to take notes.)
When you spot a familiar face and
haven't a clue to the name, the key is
to eavesdrop like crazy, and when
you hear someone else call the
mystery person's name, you've got it
made.
The next step is to walk up to that
person as quickly as possible, constantly
repeating the name to
yourself, and start talking to them
before they can figure out who you
are. That makes them look like the
fool.
The reunion in general was a blast,
but I'd say the best thing about the
whole ordeal was that it put a lot of
rumors to rest.
The biggest rumor circulating was
that one of my good friends in high
school, Andrew Salomon, had joined
the U.S. Army and had turned into a
real fan of John J. Rambo.
I'm sure you remember Rambo.
He's the fictional hero who went into
Vietnam and single-handedly freed a
whole batch of leftover war

prisoners. He also looks a little like
Rocky Balboa.
Getting back to the rumor, though,
it was a real tough one to believe.
You see, Andrew was about five-footnothing
in high school, and with his
mild and mousy temperament, he
was probably the last person you'd
ever expect to see join the armed
forces.
On second thought, I take that
back. He would probably be one or
two places in front of Dan Quayle in
signing his life away to Uncle Sam.

although he admits he's still little
more than a peon.
There were several other rumors
laid to rest during the evening, and
several that were confirmed. I personally
had to bury an awful rumor
about myself.
A few people actually came up to
me and asked where my wife was
hiding. These folks honestly believed
that I had gotten married.
I could not understand it. Then
again, what can you expect from a

THE BRUNSWICK BEACON, Tl
Fire Damage
At Nursing F
"A fire is the worst fear; this is
what you prepare for," relieved
Brunswick Village Administrator
Tommy L. Miller Jr. said last
Wednesday after a fire at the facility
was outed. "By the grace of God no
one was hurt."
While the Mulberry Street
facility's fire alarm has sounded at
local emergency agencies on
numerous occasions, the fire last
Wednesday in a resident's room was
the first at Brunswick Village.
"There's a lot of fuss about the
alarm, but this is what it's all about,"
said Miller.
As best as he could tell Wednesday,
the alarm was triggered by a cigarrete
fire in a patient's room, where
an armchair caught on fire.
Miner said patients are not supposed
to smoke in their rooms, but only
in three designated public areas.
At first staff evacuated the entire
building, which was at or near full
capacity of approximately 65 patients,
moving residents to two
covered entryways where they were
protected from a drizzling rainfall.
After learning the location and
nature of the fire, patients from the
east and west wings were all returned
to the east wing.

"For the most part everyone
responded very professionally," said
Miller.
He and Brady Little of Ash, who
was visiting a family member at the
facility, immediately put out the fire
with extinguishers before
firefighters arrived. The fire rekindled,
Miller said, and tattle quashed it
a second time.
Miller praised the quick responses
by the Shallotte Volunteer Fire
Department, Shallotte Volunteer
Rescue Squad, the town's police

employees.
Firefighters used large fans to
blow smoke from the west wing and
removed the burned chair, while
rescue personnel checked patients.
No one was injured. Miller said.
However, after the fire one 94-yearold
patient with a history of heart
problems complained of chest pains
and was transported to The
Brunswick Hospital, where she was
examined and released. On the
following day, Thanksgiving, she
died.
The fire never burned beyond the
room where it started, with smokerelated
damage limited mainly to
wall, floor and ceiling.
