I graduated with Jason. He was leaving a Dover bar called Froggies at about 2 am Sunday morning. He was racing Danny Boles and Damon Howard, who used to hang out with my brother when we were in high school. They both wrecked their cars on Rt. 10. Jason and Damon were pernounced dead on the scene and Danny died in the hospital.
What a terrible waste. They were all my age. This kind of thing makes me worry about Little Brian.
