General Information:

As part of Ben Walters' sentence he is required to speak to High Schools about the impact of making the wrong choice to drink and drive. This is being conducted now with both Linda Sheftel and Cynthia Walter speaking with Ben to portray the point from all sides. As a team they are trying to deliver a strong, poignant and emotional message of what goes on behind the headlines. What is the impact on the families, friends and the community when a tragic death occurs, particularly one that could have been avoided.
 

In Spring of 2007 the 'trio'  spoke to over 20 High Schools to parents, students and faculty. In 2008 Linda and Cindy (Ben's mother) continued to speak to about 15 different audiences.  Ben could not participate, he was in jail, serving a sentence for DUI and parole violation. Ben has since been released and while he is receiving treatment he will be continuing the speeches.
