Some Sad News - Barton Edward Hinson (6/30/92 - 5/31/09)
According to the Kershaw County Coroner's office, 16-year-old Barton Hinson was killed when the SUV he was driving struck a tree on Tower Road.
That's near the Kershaw County/Richland County line.
According to the Highway Patrol, Hinson, along with a 17-year-old passenger, were wearing seatbelts.
The passenger was transported to Camden Hospital for her injuries.
Another one...but this one is more special to Chris and I. Bart's parents own the horse farm that I kept my horses at and his mom was my trainer for years. Bart was born the month I graduated from high school and when I returned home after college I baby sat him and his two year old sister until they were too old for a babysitter. Chris and I literally cut our teeth on parenting with this kid and have lots of pictures with Santa and slip-n-slides, etc. We lived on the farm for 6 months while our current house was being built and spent many afternoons watching him practice kicking field goals (he played for LE).
As he got older Bart spent many football seasons with his family, my youngest brother and Chris at Panther games. Needless to say my family and his have interacted regularly for as long as I can remember...they are, of course, devastated. There has never been a teenager that I have met that had more promise and potential than Bart.
