This is one of those small roadside memorials just down the street from our house. You see them everywhere. This one is a little personal. On August 31, 2001 at about 10:00 pm a boy one month shy of his 17th birthday crossed the center line in his Honda Civic just as he peaked the hill. I swerved in my Caravan to miss him and watched in horror as he slammed head on into the car behind me. I turned and went back, my wife and I jumped out and ran to the cars...and we were with young Travis Powers as he died. I had never seen him before in my life, but today his family are dear friends. He was only about a half mile from his house when it happened. His friends still maintain this little cross on the corner, just down from where he died. The other boy, a college student was saved by the airbags in his tiny Honda Del Sol and survived multiple broken bones.
