MADD holds
memorial for
crash victims
By KARLA K. MARTIN
Staff Writer
He compared it to Silver Taps or
the Aggie Muster. But in this memo
rial, said Kirk Brown, president of
the Brazos County MADD Chapter,
not all the victims are dead.
MADD, Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers, has sponsored this memo
rial service nationwide for two years.
The memorial service, called the
Third Annual Candlelight Vigil, will
be held Monday on the steps of the
College Station City Hall at 7:30
p.m.
Brown said that during this vigil,
candles will be lighted in memory of
the victims of drunk drivers while
their names are called aloud.
“Our main purpose in this vigil,”
Brown said, “is to show that these
people should not have died in vain,
and MADD is working to see that
more people aren’t victims.”
Brown, who is also a professor of
soil sciences at Texas A&M, said that
when one individual is killed in an
alcohol-related crash, about 10 peo
ple suffer.
“One out of 10 Texans have had
family members killed in alcohol-re
lated accidents,” Brown said. “And
there were 20 people killed in our
community last year — victims of car
crashes.
“It’s difficult for us to determine
how many of these car-crash deaths
were alcohol related, but statistics
show that alcohol is involved in 90
percent of all auto crashes. It’s the
American way of death.”
Brown said that anyone who
wishes to have a candle lighted for
someone should contact the MADD
Chapter at 693-6014.
Brown said that today, there is a
50 percent chance that all Americans
will be involved in alcohol related ac
cidents.

“Everybody has an equal chance
of being killed,” Brown said. “A
drunk driver picks his victims at ran
dom.”
Brown said that the purpose of
this memorial service is not only to
honor those who have been killed by
drunk drivers but also to honor
those involved in alcohol-related ac
cidents.
“Death is a great tragedy,
cly
Brown
said, “but the other tragedy is those
people who live in a coma or who are
paralyzed for the rest of their lives.”
