Have a Safe Prom

Alcohol makes you impaired, and it puzzles me why teenagers decide to drive after drinking. Innocent lives have been injured or killed because of behavior like this.

Many activities for Juniors and Seniors come now.

When 16 in 1992 a drunken driver hit me. I could not attend prom and many celebrations. Three hospitals and a therapy clinic made up half of my teenage life.

I can walk okay, and it is a strain dealing with the injuries I received 30-plus years ago: my hearing is damaged, I cannot drive and speak clearly, etc. I’m aware that Santa Ynez Valley Union High School is having Prom on April 26. If going, have a terrific time.
