DEAD AT SEVENTEEN Drivers, grief, and a warning from a teen
A 1977 Williamsport Sun-Gazette plea recounts a teen’s fatal crash caused by speeding and bravado. The graphic monologue follows a 17 year old “I” through the crash, death, wake, and family pain, urging safer choices and bus use. It ends with a drug education plug and a mail offer for Ann Landers pamphlets.
