Subject Log / Time Code

- SM talks about how the shooting affected her in the following days — very scary, very sad — she’s not religious, but watched religious TV, watched the news
- LS remembers worrying about her niece who was around the front of Cole Hall — they talk about being protective of students, as secretaries
- SM expresses worries about her grandchildren now — “Nothing ever happened at NIU!”
- Coming back to work — meetings, seeing Cole Hall, memories of the shooting, dealing with distraught parents and feeling unprepared — “faculty came to us, we didn’t go to faculty... we are the glue.”
- How they first met, first impressions of one another
