Today, Charlie was informed that an airman recruited through his office died in a tragic accident last weekend. Airman Justin Blacklidge was serving his first duty assignment at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, SC. An avid motorcyclist, Justin was on his bike when struck by a car driver who apparently failed to yield the right of way while making a left turn.
Justin's parents, MSgt. Keith and Angela Blacklidge, are stationed at Barksdale AFB here in Bossier City. They live in Shreveport.
I pray that peace will rest on the hearts of all those affected by Justin's passing and that his memory will be a source of comfort and healing to those that will miss him most.

Kristin, thank you for leaving a comment here. My husband (Charlie) is a recruiter in the office Justin worked with to enlist. Charlie and I felt so helpless to do something that might help your family. I found a picture of him online from his motorcycle club and worked on it all day to create an image that would honor him and bring some comfort to his family and to myself, frankly, for whenever someone passes so young, it affects us all. We are hearbroken over your loss. It would be an honor to share the edited photograph with you and your family. Please let me know how to reach you or you can contact me through my website at www. molliecorbett .com.
I hope that you are all able to find comfort in this distressing time.
Mollie
