Reply #8: I was in the college newspaper room in college in Decorah IA

[Hardrada]

and looked out and wondered why so many people, even some rather overweight professors were running towards the student union. I went downstairs and saw the TV in the lunchroom and all the people gathered in front of it. Then someone told me he'd been shot but we didn't yet know he'd been fatally wounded. I never really enjoyed college as much after that (though there were some high points) because there was always something missing, a sense of almost effortless GLADNESS about life and learning which was NOT illusory.
