A speeding 16 year old in his parents red SUV plowed right through the cemetery. Totalled the SUV knocking down several of the oldest stones. Several huge monuments were thrown into the air. The youth says "he was only going thirty" but it must have been more like 50 miles per hour without the brakes on. I visited the site last night. It looks like most of the damage can be repaired. It has got to be done by professionals, which is out of my league, but not Walt's or Mark Davis. Let me know if either are available. There is a cemetery association for this active cemetery. I'm planning to be planted out at Hawk someday. my e-mail is: [email protected] Mark Kreps -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: Thursday, July 01, 2004 01:03:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [INPCRP] Pictures of Hawk before the damage.

Mark, Hope you don't mind--I was curious to see where Hawk is so I did a rootsweb tour and found this. It seemed like a good page and had pics of the undamaged cemetery as well--hope you don't mind. http://www.rootsweb.com/~indelawa/hawk-cem.html .
Rather he was going 30 or 50, he did the damage. Doesn't he and his parents have an obligation to be financially responsible for repairs, etc. Does a family member or members need to take them to civil court to get a judgement?
