On May 8, 1991, my neighbors, Joseph (12) and John (11) Augustine died in a car accident on the corner of Route. 29 and Crestmoor Drive.
I didn’t find out until I got home from school when I got a phone call from a local reporter who asked me for a comment. It was the first I had heard of it and needless to say, I was upset. (Years later, I learned of another death from a reporter who called me.)
Today, it’s been 25 years since it happened. Their parents still live in the house next to the one I grew up in, where my father still lives.
Here is the original Washington Post article.
