Re: [CBQ] Naperville crash

["William Hirt via groups.io" <whirt=fastmail.com@groups.io>]

I was the Layout Editor of the Naperville Central High School newspaper "Smoke Signals" in the mid 1970s. We used to layout out the high school paper at the Naperville Sun (which was weekly then). We were running a series of articles about events from Naperville's Past. The average stay for a family in Naperville was 2 years at the time, so the idea was to try to relate some of the history about the city to the student population.

The editor and publisher of The Sun, Harold White, had just purchased a new camera the day of the wreck. He was the first photo journalist on the scene and arrived very shortly after the wreck occurred. He allowed us to run several of his pictures accompanying our article about the wreck. He was always very protective of the photos (he'd had several offers to purchase them from national publications) and we were pretty grateful he allowed us to use them royalty free.
