A Journey Through Grief

The Star Telegram has a fascinating article this Sunday about the aftermath of the DWI wreck that killed four Brock High School girls seven years ago. It covers the crash, the trial (which included a very creative plea bargain), divorce, drugs, and even a conspiracy theory. I was moved by this line: "Brock High School lost three basketball players, half of its cheerleading squad, two homecoming queens and four honor students." And the story has a Wise County connection. The Lezlie Michael, mother of one of the victims, referenced in the story is my former Bridgeport classmate. There are also some quotes from Doug McWhorter who many of you know as well.
