MIKE BROPHY & HOLLY CUNDIFF STUDIO FIRE

Painter Mike Brophy and poet Holly Cundiff had a major fire in their live/work studio (along with two other buildings), losing some of their work. The latest news is that two of the three cats have turned up safe, and all the paintings have been sent for cleaning and consideration. Holly is trying to see if her poetry can be retrieved from a damaged computer.
