RIP Donna and Michele Blanchard
Twenty-six years ago today, Donna Blanchard and her four-year-old daughter Michele were killed while crossing the street at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 92nd Street. They had just bought groceries at the deli and were heading home. (Story here)
A white box truck hit them and did not stop. No one was ever charged with their deaths. Every time I pass the mural on 92nd Street, I wonder if someone feels guilty that he killed two people on that corner.
The McLeer Family had four other children (ages 6 to 23) who had to go on without their mother and sister (how awful). Two of the brothers dedicated a song to their mother – see here
Hugs,
