Murray State Replaces Diploma Destroyed in B&G Equipment Fire
Building fires don’t just destroy businesses and homes. They take away keepsakes and mementos gathered over the course of a lifetime — some of which are irreplaceable. On Wednesday, Tim Brannon got one of those irreplaceable mementos back. Brannon is the owner of B&G Equipment, which was destroyed by devastating fire March 10, and a regular columnist for Rural Lifestyle Dealer. Among the long list of destroyed property was Brannon’s diploma from Murray State University, which had been proudly hanging on the wall of his office. His alma mater heard about the tragedy, and on Tuesday, a delegation from university paid a visit to Brannon and his family at the site of the burned-out business to help undo just a little bit of the fire’s damage.
