Shame on protest group

Thursday, November 17, 2005

Editor, Register-Mail: I have long admired the presence and influence Knox College has had on the Galesburg community.

I am especially proud of the Knox students who organized the counter protest during the funeral for Kyle Wehrly. As a father of a gay son, I am particularly sensitive to the bashing of homosexuals.

Shame on the "church" whose members felt that this funeral was an appropriate occasion for such an outrageous protest. - Jim Treash, Galesburg
