Regarding the Twin Towers piece of I-beam story, both Chief Harris and EMT Ted McKey deserve a great deal of applause for this. Seems to me there are two great stories here – that Orcas Fire and Harris realized the value of getting a large piece of the rubble for a monument, and that McKey went out of his way to selflessly haul it all the way back here. A 750-pound piece is major weight to be hauling cross-country; most people in larger towns would just pass on it and let it be hauled by commercial carrier at considerable cost. What they did is very commendable.
