Interesting to know about the other passengers. Love your cat meowing in the background!

And sometimes the dogs chime in too.

Hi Rett This is a very ambitious story/blog you've started. Keep it rolling. It is all good 'stuff'. I especially appreciate your dry sense of humor i.e. 'if you haven't been paying attention..." I remember going back to THS after spring break and the accident was announced. I did not recall three had died. I do recall very clearly that you were severely injured. That was a gut punch. Yes life can change very quickly. I think the announcement was made in Mr Caudieux's World History class and your seat behind me was empty. Funny the things you remember. Keep up the good work. Take care. I'm going to continue watching. Bob (Fern-Greenwood and THS)

Thank you Bob. I appreciate the comments. It is very interesting to me to hear you briefly describe here about the accident back then as opposed to my perspective of being in the accident. (Of course, I remember you well.)

Thank you Rett...a wise person you are.

I appreciate that

I was never clear about the fate of the other passengers, thanks for sharing. Did you keep track of anyone over the years? Did you ever have the opportunity or desire to rehash the event with any of the survivors, or would that have been too painful? Did you ever have nightmares or flashbacks to the crash or the following months? This may be too personal for you to expand on, but these were questions that went through my head. Thanks again for being so open about your experience. -NK

There were two survivors with whom I initially maintained a casual and not particularly close relationship. None of the people in the car represented my closest friends at the time. These were more acquaintances or casual friendships developed through the mutual participation in sports or through simply attending the same elementary school and then high school over the course of years. They were in fact, friends, but simply not my most close and personal friends of the time. As I recall I never did have the desire to rehash events with the actual people involved. Interestingly, I do not have psychological pain or nightmares associated with the accident. Plenty of regret for darn sure. And also, some regret that I picked that particular urinal on that particular night. Such are the things all our lives are composed of. One step in a different direction and our lives are profoundly affected.

Always enjoy listening to your videos ! Noticing this # is your last one, & hoping that means, you are on a vacation ? If you do travel by plane, I would love it, if you could talk about this in one of your videos ! Hope all is well & wishing you my best

This one is definitely NOT the last one. More will follow in the immediate future. I simply took a short break. I enjoy making them and will keep doing so as long as they seem to be well received. I have traveled by airplane and it is always complicated. I try to have enough muscle traveling with me to help with lifting and diplomacy. It takes more planning (and more money for the extra labor) but it most definitely can be done.I will definitely add this topic to the future list.
