Thank you for your podcast 3 part story about Alan Fredian. I just finished listening. I am 66 years old and lived in La Grange and Countryside. I attended LTHS south campus just my freshmen and sophomore year. My family then moved to Colorado in the summer of 1972. I have often thought of that time through the years when Alan was murdered. He was in my Laboratory Science class. I never spoke to him for we were all trying to get to know one another since school started in September. Everyone knew where the “Hole” was. It’s where all the drug deals happened. After that weekend I remember going to class and turning around and seeing Alan’s empty desk. It was incredibly sad. I just wanted to thank you for the time and energy you both put into your podcast. By the way I met my future wife there in at South Campus at the Corral. We have been married for 36 years. Good luck to both of you.
