Re: [CBQ] Re: Naperville Crash

The Naperville Sun had quite a collection of pictures of the aftermath 
of the accident. If I recall right, Harold White, who was the editor and 
publisher of the Sun, had just purchased a new camera and was quickly on 
the scene taking pictures. When I worked on the Naperville Central High 
School newspaper in the early-mid 70s, Mr. White was kind enough to 
allow us to reprint several of his pictures in a series one of our 
reporters wrote about Naperville history (at the time, the population 
was highly transient with most people living in Naperville for 2 years 
before moving on - so this was a way to connect students to historic 
Naperville events). The Sun I believe published a retrospective not long 
after. I've never seen these pictures anywhere else as Mr. White had 
used a white ink pen to write copyright Naperville Sun on the images. 
Even though the Sun has been owned by Sun-Times group since the 90s, I 
would think they would still have these images in their files. If I was 
writing an in-depth article or book about this event, I would definitely 
seek these photographs out.
