As a former Kent student who took many classes in the ROTC building; and whose father Dr. E C Pickard was a physician at the campus health center on that fateful day; this excellent book brought back many memories. Ver well done!

May 4, 1970: The Kent State Story in Pictures

This is a very impressive work and well documents these historic events. I was a freshman at Ohio State University at the time, and have often said that the same tragic outcome could have happened at OSU as well. My thanks to all involved at the Akron Beacon-Journal for their outstanding work. May we never forget.
