Family Tragedy

This past weekend (Saturday, October 8th) my father, Richard Rapp, was killed in an auto accident in Uvalde, TX.  Being that I am a safety instructor and that I promote defensive and safe driving practices on a regular basis, it made this accident even more painfull.  What could I have done, or said that may have prevented something like this.  I know, after much thought, soul searching and prayer, that there was really nothing that I could have done.  My father had Alzheimers.  I would encourage each of you, if you have someone close to you with this disease to visit the Alzheimers Association website and watch the several videos on driving that they have posted there and share them with your loved ones.  If you have a desire to donate for the cure of this horrible disease, please do so.
