    I came across the episode with Scott Wallace and boy did it bring back memories. Having been best friends with his older sister Lorri, I remember the family fondly. Hearing the song Quiet Town brought back a lot of memories of the train wreck, since it happened a year after I graduated. Small towns come together in times of tragedy. Great podcast
