Forgetting Something About Shoemaker

My heart goes out to the Shoemakers, as I am a racing fan and have followed Bill’s career through the years. But after reading Elliott Almond’s article on April 29, it became apparent to me that all those notables responsible for setting up the Shoemaker Foundation are forgetting that he was driving drunk and could have killed or maimed someone else.

I am sorry for the Shoemakers, but more sorry for the rest of the people in the world who suffer tragedies as great (as) or greater than Bill’s through no fault of their own. How about helping them?
