So something I haven't shared yet. There's this program called shattered dreams that stages a scene, typically fatal, of car accidents. Maybe drunk driving, maybe speeding and not paying attention, or texting, or whatever. At high schools. They have students as actors and some "die", some "seriously injured". Ems and police and life flight get called and it's done in front of the student body. To sort of make an impact.
So steve was asked, and agreed, to donate Tonys car to the program. He agreed on the stipulation that it would not be used in alvin or santa fe (more friends, or his sister, that would know the car). So it was used a few weeks ago. And I finally watched part of the video. It was basically speeding and distracted by friends in the car - and tonys car was the "victim" car so that made me feel a little better about it. I couldn't watch most of the video, mainly bc I can't see his car and not think about him being in it for his accident.
Anyway, I think it's kind of neat that his car was able to be involved in this program - to hopefully impact these kids in a way that they are safer. Another positive potentially, in the midst of our tragedy and loss.
