My Aunt Allie lives in La Cañada at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, just a few blocks west of Angeles Crest Highway. I called her Friday, concerned because the fire was near where she lives. As I read about it, I knew the places mentioned, and they are close to her home on Journey's End Drive.
She called me back Saturday, had not yet evacuated, but Sunday my call to her went unanswered. I think that means she and her son Brett have left her home. Reports today are not good--the fire there doubled over night, and when I spoke with her Saturday she could see the flames over the big trees at the back of her property.
Her name is Alice Callicott. I am named for her, although my mother spelled my name with a y. Allie is 89, still beautiful, still with all her wits about her, still with her sense of humor and her beautiful voice. My three daughters know her.
She asked that I pray for her and her home. I ask all who read this to do the same.

I have been thinking about her all week. I'm glad you called her.
