Kenneth Winston Starr, J.D. President Baylor University One Bear Place #97096 Waco, Texas 76798-7096

Dear President Starr,

This letter is sent to express a sincere apology for the accident that occurred at the end of the parade route this past Friday.

My number one concern is for the family involved in the accident and specifically the little girl who was injured. My dad went to the hospital on Saturday to express my concern for this little girl. He was not able to visit with the parents, but did visit with the grandmother. I am hopeful to have the opportunity soon to visit with this family, personally expressing my concern and seeking their forgiveness.

The highlight of the parade for me was shaking hands with all the children in attendance along the route. Never, ever was it my intention to frighten or harm anyone. From the beginning of the parade route, the crowds were so encouraging and enthusiastic of our float. After three years of working incredibly hard to win the Class A Float Division Award, we were hopeful of winning the Crowd Favorite Award.

The shock of having injured a child continues to be devestating. There is very little I remember of the accident. All I remember is seeing the child and asking the police to arrest me. It was so painful to see what this motorcycle had done. It never occurred to me I could have lost control of the motorcycle, causing injury to others. The motorcycle was owned and operated by me on Saturday, and I never want to see it again.

It is important you know that I am extremely sorry for any negative reflections on Baylor University. Please inform me as to what I can do to keep this accident from any repercussions directed at Baylor University. The university has been good to me and to my family. We have a long history with the university, and I am grateful for the education and experiences the university has provided.

This is my senior year at Baylor. This semester my time has been spent working on academics. As any of my friends will attest, I have been focused on my studies and have not been seen around campus. It has been important to finish Baylor strong, taking advantage of the education available. The only activity, in which I have participated this semester, has been working on the construction of the Kappa Sig Float.

Again, please accept my sincere apology. I did not attend the football game on Saturday, but the victory all of the Baylor Nation experiened at Floyd Casey Stadium was incredible. It saddens me such a special Homecoming Weekend was scarred by this accident.

Respectfully yours,
