Sad News Along Lincoln In Dekalb, Illinois


Recommended Posts

The shootings at Northern Illinois University Valentine's Day took place about a quarter mile off the Lincoln Highway. Five students were killed by a deranged former student.

 

Both Liz and I graduated from Northern in 1973, so it has hit us hard.

 

We took a trip out to Dekalb yesterday and I blogged about it in three entries. If you'd like to see our experience, go to

There is also a major discussion as to what to do with Cole Hall, where the shootings occurred. Some want it torn down and turned into a park. I think the actions of one deranged person shouldn't cause eduaction to stop. The hall should remain, but probably a name-change is order as well as a memorial inside and outside of it.

 

Why Must These Things Happen?
