Robert St. John says 43 years ago, he was racing toward oblivion with his headlights off. Today, he can see the road.
There was a kid from my hometown who had it all figured out at twenty-one. Charm, dreams, a family who loved him. He was also speeding down 4th Street at 90 miles per hour with his headlights off and three police cars in pursuit.
That was May 25, 1983.
