Two very different men held court in Santa Rosa Sunday evening - one a radical who wanted action and revolution, the other a preacher of peaceful resistance whose memory lives on long after his death.

If Santa Rosa native son Robert Ripley were still alive and drawing his "Believe It or Not" cartoon, he might tell the world about the piece of handmade furniture that links the two most accomplished and renowned late residents of his hometown.

Two men were killed while driving when their car hit a tree early Sunday morning near the intersection of Bodega Avenue and Pepper Road, California Highway Patrol officials said.
