Darryl Green was killed by a hit-and-run driver early Sunday morning in St. Augustine, Florida. He and his team had won the silver medal at the National Goalball Championships just hours earlier. Darryl was a member of the Blind Sports Organization (B S O) in Pennsylvania. We in Kentucky are saddened by the loss.
Below is an e-mail from one of Darryl's teammates, John Mulhern:
"Dear Friends,

by a hit-and-run driver at about 1:30 this morning (June 3) in St.
