I am a Millennial, and I moved back to Hinsdale to wrap myself up in its historical cocoon. The beautiful homes and tree-lined streets hearken back to an age gone by, perfectly juxtaposed to the ever-forward, ever-faster pace of technology.

I seldom write to newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. But this time (after Pamela Lannom’s Feb. 6 column), it seems worth it.

Alix McArthur was familiar with Julie Heidecke. McArthur had worked at the Julie K. Heidecke Tribute soccer clinics while she was a student at Hinsdale Central. The name of the late Central graduate became even more familiar to McArthur when she began playing soccer at Illinois State University, following the same path Heidecke had. Julie died in 1998 at the age of 19 in car accident. "There is a little memorial right outside the gate before you walk in (Adelaide Street...
