There should be a citation immediately after that direct quote. Perhaps the external link mentions that quote -- but even so, a footnote should still be there, right next to the quote. --Jacqui M Schedler 02:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Contentious information

edit

"According to the account of her boyfriend Bruce Burkland, Scheuer 'was walking with one of her speech and hearing therapy students across the green. Caught in the gunfire, neither Sandra nor the young man had anything to do with the assembly of students on the green.'"

1) I read she was dating Jeffrey Miller (fatally shot while protesting), and 2) her sorority roommate invited her to meet Jeffrey at the protest.

I think the cited boyfriend may have been projecting his own feelings about the protest onto Sandra.

From https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/998250043/51-years-later-a-man-reflects-on-national-guard-killing-his-brother-at-kent-state-massacre: "In 2007, Sandy Scheuer’s roommate, Janice Reinstein Stone, surfaced to say she invited Scheuer to go to the anti-Vietnam War rally to meet up with Jeff Miller. [Brother] Russ Miller had no idea that his brother and Scheuer, another victim, were connected in any way. They weren’t in the same location when they were shot, he says. 'I didn’t even know that they knew each other well,' he says. 'It turns out they knew each other very well.'

Stone says Jeffrey Miller and Scheuer were dating at the time and crafted a Crayon drawing together about two weeks before the shootings. Stone kept the drawing in her house, and it dawned on her years ago that others needed to be aware the painting existed. Now, the painting, called 'Who Is To Say?,' lives in a special collection at the Kent State University Library." Lchukhin (talk) 17:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
