Tragedy, Survival, and Triumph

It was January 11, 1960, seven miles north of Athens, Georgia, on U.S.

Highway 29, when my life would change in a negative way forever.

On that dreadful Monday morning, my life would change course from

what it was expected to be. That day, a new trajectory sent my life into

uncharted territory. This is a story I feel needs to be told. You will discover the

reasons for my title: Tragedy, Survival, and Triumph.
