25 Years Ago

It was Thursday May 20, 1982 when my big sister drove her 1963 multicolored spray painted Volkswagon Van off to a rehearsal with the Young Salem Symphony. She never made it to rehearsal. She was crashed into by a guy who thought it was a good idea to get drunk in the afternoon and then try to drive home. The pain of that day has dulled, but I still miss Kate.

Do your family and me a favor. Dont drink and drive. And wear your seatbelt. If Kate's seatbelt had been functional, she may still be with us today, and I would be writing about something else.
