How was it?

For the Charlotte race this weekend, many (maybe all) of the cars are honoring the memories of soldiers and sailors.

I taught Jon Bowling in the police academy and was friends with his dad. I can still feel the dead feeling I had when I got the call about his death, and was one of the 5000 people (which frankly might be an understatement of the crowd) at the visitation. He was a fine person and a great police officer.

May his memory be blessed.
