UW alumni, former professor recall return to campus following Sterling Hall bombing

Linda Plutchak recalled the morning of August 24, 1970. She was a graduate student in UW’s school of education at the time.”I drove on to University Avenue at about seven in the morning,” she said. “There was smoke everywhere and there were fire engines everywhere, and it was just an absolute mess, and I had had no idea what was going on.”
