Remembrance ceremonies for the five slain Northern Illinois University students this past Saturday, the one year anniversary of the stunning even, partly centered around the new memorial which will be built just east of Cole Hall.
There will be five cardinal red granite panels with the names of the five slain along with the words "Forward, Together, Forward, Together, Forward" on them. These words are taken from the Huskie fight song.
A carved walkway will wrap along the stones along with 20 dawn redwood, white oak, and evergreen trees. Benches will also be situated in front of the stones for contemplating.
The estimated $150,000 cost is being entirely funded from private sources. A 40 member design committee selected this memorial from some 200 entries.
Dekalb, Illinois, is located in northern Illinois and is also on the Lincoln Highway, Illinois Rt. 38.
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
