Our Illinois Lincoln Highway State Director, Kay, was on campus during the shootings, just across the parking lot in the library.
She said that afterwards there were trails of blood to nearby buildings from the wounded. They have since been cleared off.
We've had discussion as to what to do with Cole Hall. Some believe it should be torn down and a park made. I think it should be reopened with a name to honor the fallen and perhaps some of the chairs in the first rows turned into a memorial. I'd also preserve the broken door. We can not let one deranged person stop education in any way.
I still think some of the WTC's framework should have been preserved and used as the memorial for that sad event.
Still a shock.
We have spent many nights at the TraveLodge where the killer stayed. Perhaps, at one time we actually stayed in the same room. Shivers down my spine.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
