Brockton's Strand Theatre Memorial Dedication

 A memory painful and indelible  click the title to see the entire article courtesy of the Boston Globe.

Each anniversary - and there have been 66 of them - rekindles painful memories, and nightmares. Ed Burrell is 93 years old, and long ago retired from his firefighting duties, but each year he stands at a memorial ceremony, paying sad tribute to the comrades who died on one of Brockton's most horrible nights.  (By Milton J. Valencia, Boston Globe)
