Liz spent a lot of time on the internet last night looking at items dealing with the Valentine's Day killings.
She was able to download the black ribbon with Huskie logo and the Huskie logo where a tear is coming out of his eye. Those two things really get to us.
There are a lot of student-produced videos on the web as well. We especially found the one where the guy followed the news staff of NIU's paper, The Northern Star around the day after the shootings. Also, the one with Pres. Kennedy speaking hit home.
The killer's girlfriend comes from Wonder Lake, Illinois, about ten miles from here.
The debate as to what should be done with Cole Hall continues. I still say classes should continue in the building next school year. The actions of a lone deranged person should never dictate eduaction. It should have it's name changed to honor the killer's victims. Plus, I believe some of the seats and the shattered door should be kept, along with the "We Are NIU" board and the crosses. That would be fitting.
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.
