It took misfortune on the part of longtime Ennis resident and Czech native, Jeff Marusak, to discover how fortunate he is to have so many friends.
A recent series of events, none of them good, left him vulnerable when tough luck struck again. An accidental fire in his garage, which spread quickly to an adjoining carport, woke him at 1 a.m. on Saturday night. Before the flames could be extinguished by the Ennis Fire Department, they had scorched his house and destroyed much of the contents inside the garage, carport area and a tool shed.
