| | Duke Grad Killed in Law School Shooting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | One of the victims of the cruel, senseless and random shooting at Appalachian Law School in Grundy, Virginia on Wednesday of this week was a Duke Law/ Graduate School of Philosophy Grad, Tom Blackwell, '86. |
 | | Tom had left his practice in Texas to join the faculty of Appalachian, a fledgeling law school, just recently accredited, which was established to educate and train lawyers who want to stay and work in the depleted and fairly poor coal mining reagion of far western Virginia. |
 | | Many of the students would be unable to leave their homes, families, or jobs to attend school elsewhere, or could not afford to go elsewhere. |
