OGDEN – Jim and Barb Esworthy of Ogden are not happy that the drunken driver who killed their daughters will soon be released from prison, but they are continuing their crusade against drunken driving.
...
Their parents, Jim and Barb, also were injured but survived.
...
As a way to honor their daughters and to help fight drunken driving, Jim and Barb Esworthy established "Journey," an organization that has helped buy in-squad cameras for Champaign County sheriff's deputies and University of Illinois police.
...
In August 1998, Jim and Barb Esworthy were on hand with then-state Rep.
...
Barb Esworthy said a lot of the funds have been raised by student groups, such as the Commerce Council and 4-H House sorority.She feels the efforts to buy cameras and educate the public through Journey have been worthwhile."If nothing else, it raises public awareness," she said."It isn't the amount of money, but it helps monitor this type of problem.Even at the university, we try to get across the idea, ‘Don't drink and drive.' Maybe it will make them think twice."Barb Esworthy said Clark has never expressed remorse or taken responsibility, making statements that he only pleaded guilty because he loves his wife." I just hope when he gets out, this doesn't happen again," she said."We don't want the two-year parole to be reduced.There are a lot of people who want him under wraps as long as possible."
