IU East Professor Jean Harper Takes MCR "Back To The Future" -
Staff traveled to Indiana University East, recently, to witness a movie documentary written and directed by Professor Harper - Titled "1:47" -
The film's premiere transported its audience back to April 6, 1968, when a terrific Saturday afternoon explosion in Marting Arms, downtown Richmond, killed 41 individuals, injured dozens more, and forever changed the face of this city located west of the Ohio Line on the National Road. We were there!

"Back" to 2008 - Professor Jean Harper chose MCR Staff as one of the guest narrators in the documentary and we comment:
"One leaves the theater having witnessed something very special
about a 1968 tragedy in downtown Richmond - forever changing lives,
and without a doubt the event itself (and now 1:47) leaves an indelible mark."
Presented to "MCR Readers" remembering both victims and rescue efforts.

From A Madison Came Running Reader:
Hello Mr. Bean . . .
My name is Michael Adams, and I am from Fort Wayne , Indiana . I work as Assistant Director of Admissions at the Brown Mackie University Campus in Fort Wayne . I have been coming to Madison Indiana for 16 consecutive years; the first time by accident, and the other 15 years to see the Madison Regatta, explore the town, and hike in Clifty Falls State Park . I cannot tell you how Madison , the Regatta, and Clifty Falls have become a big part of my life. Even though I only come to town once a year, I go online everyday to check on my favorite "City Beneath The Hills". In this way I am able to feel connected to Madison and I am able to keep up on all the happenings as if I were there. I frequently imagine myself living in Madison , and I am sure that one day I will be moving to the area. I cannot possibly thank you enough for “Madison Came Running.” I have many, many websites saved on my computer that I visit frequently to stay in touch with Madison , but yours is the one that I look forward to visiting everyday. I like how you change things often and keep it fresh. I really like how you give me pictures of the river so I can see how she’s doing. Even though I am embarrassed to admit it, sometimes when I am looking at all your wonderful pictures, tears will come to my eyes because I miss Madison so much. The month of July cannot get here soon enough for me!
So . . . today, I just felt the need to tell you this: I’m a fan of the city, a fan of “Miss Madison” and the team, and I want to tell you I just might be your biggest fan as well! Again Mr. Bean, thank you so much for keeping me in touch with the place that I hold so dear to my heart . . .
May God bless you and keep you always,
Michael Adams
