The great butter fire

[Airehead]

Not sure why I thought of this. The air smelled like butter for a long time. For awhile it smelled like frying fish and then Turkey but butter was the overall odor.

When reading the story it was like I could smell and taste butter.., then realized I was eating a piece of buttered toast at the same time.

Husband one was a reporter or editor or something at that time-  because we all know musicians don’t always have steady work. Anyway, our house was full of reporter friends from all over the state and country. They loved that fire. Government butter that was supposed to go to the Soviet Union but due to its proximity to the fire, they did not send it to the Soviets, they gave it to the US prisoners instead. 
Joey Gardner was a photographer we knew. He kept talking about that part.
