Did you witness any tragedy’s in your life?
I went to The Timpanogas drive-in movie out in Orem with one of my friends older brothers, R.J. Hone. We were coming home and when we got to the top of Lindon hill there had been a bad accident. The car came off of Lindon hill and was going fast enough that it caught air and clipped the telephone pole 15 feet up in the air and killed all 4 people in the car. We later found out that a kid had bought a new car and him and his friends were at a restaurant in Lindon. His girlfriend had convinced him to let her drive his new car and she had it going over 100 mph coming over the hill. RJ and I drove up on the accident and watched them pick up body parts which left a very long impression on us.
