He was a senior vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.

Overton had just married a few weeks before the accident.

Faulkner was rather famous for drinking, and throughout his life was known to be an alcoholic. Some of this can be seen in the film Barton Fink where the character of W.P. Mayhew was a composite character of Lost Generation with novelists William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald being influences on the character, most notably Faulkner.
