"m ovin g" tribute to Shawn

roper, who was killed in a traf
fic accident Saturday, Aug. 17,
while en route to the OTPR

McMulIan, 26, of Iraan,
Texas, was killed around 3 a m.
when the pickup in which he
was riding was struck by a sta
tion wagon traveling the wrong

The driver of the station
wagon, Dawn Marie Ryba, 28,
of White Salmon, Washington,
was also killed in the collision.

trailer sustained minor cuts.
