TITLE, DESCRIPTION;: Excellent title, descriptive line is compelling.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:: A biographical tale of a different era of life. I enjoyed the detailed description in this story, it gives a thourough glimpse into another way of life. I liked how you began with people's expectations and history of that year, it gives a clear view into the lifestyles of the era. It was sort of a journey back into time for me.

PLOT; FLOW;: Plot is well thought out and flow is well paced throughout this story.

Characters, Dialogue:: Characters are likeable, although style of cars, type of dress, casual, etc. would add nice detail. A brief description of neighborhood, street, traffic flow would add depth, authenticity for younger generations. Dialogue is strong, true to the characters.

IMAGERY; EMOTION:: Imagery is good, but I think a bit more showing of emotions at end [ officers, mother, son] would add great depth and send a stronger message to readers.

Favorite Lines/Parts::
History, description of time period.

SUGGESTIONS;;
Basically, just what is mentioned above. Grammar didn't jump out at me as flawed, story moves along nicely.

CLOSING THOUGHTS;: A strong story with a surprising twist and strong message at the end. It left me feeling both sad for the family and proud at how the son used the tradegy to make changes in his own way of handling alchol.
Thank you for a great read and keep on writing!
