View all 8 ReflectionsRemember this day well, I was a curious 16 year old visiting from Shreveport in Bossier City. The police cars, plain cars and ambulances were passing with sirens...which we soon followed thinking there was a possible crash at Barksdale. My friend and I soon witnessed this tragedy after driving out into that open cotton field....a day I will always rememer.
