My biggest memory of Russell Straight is when he took me to the hospital in his hearst in 1965 after my horse and I were hit by a car on the corner of Cherry and Henry. Apparently, the ambulances were all in use at the time. He was a really good man.
• Jenny Skeens
You saw me hit?
• Debbie Holmes
Jenny Skeens I remember that Jenny. Horrible accident
• Sherry Mollohan Buckalew
Aaron Mollohan I remember it happened on a Sunday afternoon didn’t it?
• Aaron Mollohan
Jenny Skeens yes. For some reason I was at that intersection, riding my bike I would guess. Terrible memory. Did the horse have to be put down?
• Mike Brown
I was there Jenny. Ronnie Young and I were tossing a football (I think). We heard screeching tires and, when I looked up, your horse was bouncing off the broken windshield and you were in the air. We ran over and you were asking about your horse, but we could tell you were badly hurt. Mrs Young called my mom and one of them called the police. While they were taking you away, we saw that your poor animal was talking his last breaths. I always felt very sad about the whole ordeal. I know it was very painful for you.

Aaron Mollohan Dad would never tell me about what happened to Diamond, but he had to be seriously hurt and I am pretty sure they had to put him down. I had really serious nightmares for over 2 yrs.

Mike Brown I didn't know that you 2 saw me hit as well as Alan and Greg. I remember someone telling me later that your Mom was there or I may not remember that right. So you saw my Diamond was dying and he didn't have to be put down? I knew he had to be seriously injured. My Dad would never tell me if he was put down, nor where they took him. And yes, it was painful and had nightmares for over 2 yrs. It is still a little painful even now, but he gave me some wonderful times and good memories. Thank you for telling me. It means a lot to me.
