The story I wrote about the collapse of the Notre Dame Arena 50 years ago was published in its entirety in the Feb. 26 edition of The Berlin Sun. Thanks to all, contributors and staff at the Berlin and North Conway offices, for making it possible. I know there are as many untold stories about that fateful day as there are told stories. If you were not in that story and want to share your thoughts on that day with me, please feel free to do so at any time.
Regular season action for the local high school athletic teams is over, and playoffs have begun and/or will be beginning this week.
