My heart goes out to the family of Carol Ragsdale who died Saturday morning in Mishawaka by another drunk driver.
What can be done? I wish this nightmare on no one.
There are a few campaigns to help through Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. One is an ignition interlock for convicted DUI offenders. To support this campaign you can go here and have a pre-written letter (one that you can edit) sent to:
- our Governor
- our Senators
- our State Representatives
Also, the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety (ACTS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are searching for ways to develop an in-vehicle alcohol detection system. More information can be found here: DADSS
I’m actively looking into what else can be done by me and you RIGHT NOW!

Nancy,
I didn’t know Patrick but I have been touched by your website. I sent the letter and forwarded it to my friends. I just wanted to let you know that you are a strong woman. May God be with you and your children.
Nancy,
I also sent the letter in hopes of something or someone to do something about bicycle safety. My heart goes out to you and your kids. I didn’t know Patrick but by reading this website it sounds like he was a blessing to everyone that knew him. May god bless you and your family.
