Happy and Safe Holidays - The Shepard

I wish all who a happy and safe holiday season on this Christmas Day. I'd like to take a moment to pause and thank all the wildland firefighters who are working today, including but not limited to those of you working the Thomas Fire (281,620 acres; 86% contained) in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties California.

I first learned of The Shepard by Frederick Forsyth from a good friend eight years ago. The CBC has a broadcast of the Shepard, read by Alan Maitland that I understand is rebroadcast every year on Christmas Eve on some Candadian Broadcast System radio stations. Fortunately, the broadcast is available on You Tube so I can continue to share The Shepard with you today.
