your post was deleted because you quoted another poster making an inconsiderate, unwarranted post at a bad time...
Wilheim made it clear, posts like that wont be tolerated and they won't.....our site won't stoop to that, so if posters are looking to stir shit up and try and antagonize others with innane posts, they'll be gone....u happened to quote it, and ask about it, thats why yours is gone as well..
If this news is in fact confirmed, it's very tragic. Ken and I didn't always see eye-to-eye but the few times I talked to him over the phone he was very pleasant. I was supposed to meet him for coffee one day but at the last second he couldn't make it and it's too bad as I probably would've seen more in person than just his "online persona."
You just never know.

ASHEVILLE — An explosion that rocked an East Asheville neighborhood destroyed a vacant house and sent debris into neighboring homes.
Marjorie Styles was peeling apples in her Pleasant Ridge Drive home Saturday afternoon when she heard the explosion. The blast knocked the knife out of her hand.
“It was horrendous. My windows shook and the floor was shaking,” said Styles, who lives directly across the street from the house destroyed by the explosion. “Flames were shooting out and there was black smoke. I immediately grabbed the phone and called 911.”
Firefighters responded about 3:35 p.m. to the explosion at 13 Pleasant Ridge Drive. The cause of the blast remains under investigation. No one was at the house at the time and there were no firefighters injured.
“The house is supposed to be vacant right now,” Asheville-Buncombe Arson Task Force director Buddy Thompson said at the scene. “The gentleman that has the house now, his mother died about a month ago, so they were cleaning the house out.”
It’s not known exactly the last time someone was in the house, Asheville Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Dan Flinn said.
“Last time (neighbors) said they saw somebody was maybe two weeks ago,” Flinn said.
It appeared the house bad both propane and natural gas sources. Flinn said it wasn’t known if those lines were turned off before the blast, but crews made sure the lines were turned off after the explosion.
The roofs of nearby homes were littered with debris, and the adjacent house had its siding pierced with debris thrown by the blast. Shattered glass covered the street.
Styles has lived on Pleasant Ridge Drive for about 50 years. She said Hazel Norman lived in the house that exploded for about the same amount of time until she died last month.
“It was a beautiful place and I’m glad Ms. Norman didn’t have to see it like this because she loved it,” Styles said.
Susan Bates was working in her yard about a half mile away when the blast happened.
“It was really loud,” Bates said. “It was a huge explosion and then the ground shook.”
