i am just finished with day 1 of a 2 day training seminar with the state chapter of MADD...... sitting in a room of 30 people, fully one third have lost a first degree relative in a drunk driving collision
the women i sat between had each lost a son..... one's son would have been 31 next week had he not been killed at 1 and the other lost her 18 year old son 2 years ago, an elite football player, honor roll student well liked and deeply mourned by his schoolmates, coaches and teachers..... killed by a serial offender who never finished highschool .... two other teens were seriously injured but survived.... he was sentenced to 26 years.....
my state, the self-proclaimed beer and bratwurst capitol of the world, is dead last in the DOTs report on progress being made in reduction of alcohol related deaths from traffic collisions
