Back in our Chicago days, we lived about a half-hour west of DeKalb, just off the same highway that forms their main street and on which sits the campus of Northern Illinois University. Many Sunday afternoons were spent on country drives to get away from suburbia. I can remember driving to DeKalb one summer day and thinking, "What a quiet, wonderful little town this is." The backdrop of memory makes yesterday's tragedy at NIU all the more shocking and saddening.
Our prayers and hearts go out to all the victims and their families and loved ones, the students at NIU and the town of DeKalb.
