a friend of our family was in a train wreck. it took place on park
street. that's one reason for my e-mail addy: parkStreetBooBoo...the
other reason? that info will be given out only when the time is ripe;
it may never happen. that incident ended pretty much on the railroad
tracks. to be continued...?

I saw the wreck in the morning when my school bus drove over the
tracks. I didn't realize that it was her car until I was told about
it when I got home. She spent months in the hospital getting
surgeries/corrective surgeries. She lived into her 90's.
