Barstow, California

Our family was in So. Cal on vacation. Our hotel was in Helendale, 30 minutes from Barstow, so we decided to go to Church in Barstow where Jeff served all 4 months of his mission. Dad was able to talk with a few of the members that remembered Jeff. After Church we went to the intersection where Jeff was hit.

Here is the link to Jeff's profile on the Church's family history site:

I uploaded all these pictures onto that. It would be great for others to go on there (and here) and type stories of Jeff on there.

From Grandma:
"Police Officer Doug Richards said a southbound delivery truck, driven by Russell Evans, was making a left turn from Muriel onto Virginia Way when Beck's northbound bicycle entered the intersection."   We do know he must have seen the truck and tried to avoid the collision by heading to the barrowpit.
