It’s hard to remember a time when there was a 24-hour news cycle and not a 24-7 constant barrage of news. Three Stetson University students were killed in an avalanche in Innsbruck, Austria on January 17, 1979. Save for two articles that were distributed by the Associated Press, I could find little about the tragedy.
The three students who were killed were:
Dennis Long, Delta Sigma Phi
Scott Fenlon, Sigma Nu
Katharine “Katy” Resnick, Pi Beta Phi
Most of the group continued on and finished their travels. They returned to the United States on January 30, went back to Stetson, mourned and got on with their lives. The tragedy was largely forgotten on campus.
If you have some time, take a look at this story.
