And in another Greensboro/Fleetwood Mac related item, I read this very sad story in my local paper this morning:


Dale Jarrett's crew chief's wife, her sisters killed

GUILFORD COUNTY

Winston Cup crew chief Shawn Parker's wife and her two sisters were killed late Wednesday when their limousine was struck in the rear by a pickup and exploded in flames on Interstate 40 in Greensboro after they left a Fleetwood Mac concert. Tara Howell Parker, 29, of Cornelius, was the wife of the crew chief for Dale Jarrett's No. 88 Robert Yates Racing team.Also killed were Megan Elizabeth Howell, 16, and Mysti Howell Poplin, 24, both of Mocksville. One of the women is Parker's stepsister and one is a half sister.

The pickup's driver, Jeffrey Niles McFayden, of Greensboro, was charged with driving while impaired and with three counts of second-degree murder, police said. As of Thursday afternoon he was being held in the Guilford County Detention Center. His initial $300,000 bond was increased Thursday to $800,000.

Funeral arrangements for Parker were incomplete Thursday.

The limousine's driver, James Cannady, 42, of New Ellenton, S.C., escaped the car. A third car, a 1997 Ford Escort, also was struck in the collision. The driver and passenger were not injured
