Thanks Flug. On May 12, 2017 not that long ago only -7- years. from Louisiana. Odder yet both the motorcycle driver and the car driver a 20 year old woman were killed. High speed indeed. If my quick math is accurate Jackson was about 48 y/o +/- in my head. Still young. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
