Fire, birthday, screams, fear in Middletown tale
James Boyd, 21, home from Colorado, awoke to a red glow under a door and smashed it open to save roommate Peter Barbano from a fire that destroyed their apartment. Barbano was injured, Butch White remained missing, and Boyd later hosted his 21st birthday at his parents’ Silver Lake home. He also rescued a drowning child after seeing screams by the lake, pulling a log to aid three kids amid the overturned boat incident. The ordeal left them with little but memories and reluctant gratitude.
