An important closing note: Kevin and Jennifer Cuozzo, owners of A Touch of Class Limousines in McHenry, had a scary experience the other day. They came home to their beautiful Garrett County home to find their dishwasher on fire. If they had not come home at that time, who knows what would have happened. They asked me to spread the word to NOT leave your dishwasher on when leaving the house. I do sometimes and now I won’t!
