Just found this on the Oneonta Daily Star web site, even though it was published almost two months ago. It's a letter to the editor from Felicia Lynd, Lindsay Harvey's grandmother, announcing that the scholarship fund that was established by Lindsay's high school alma mater in Oneonta raised $10,000. This is so good to know. Here is Ms. Lynd's letter:
It has been more than a year now since the tragic and brutal loss of my granddaughter, Lindsay Marie Harvey. The tears still flow and she will be dearly missed and loved forever.
Our family was blessed with such an outpouring of love and support at a most difficult and sad time.
Many people, local, and some across the country, very graciously donated to an Oneonta High School scholarship fund in memory of Lindsay. She would have been so humbled and proud. Education was very important to her. She loved learning and also teaching. In the community college newspaper in Frederick, Md., it stated that although Lindsay loved her job at the “Armed Forces DNA Lab,” they felt her true love was teaching. Lindsay taught forensic science at the community college in addition to her regular job at the DNA Lab.
Since there has been no public acknowledgement of the amount received for the OHS scholarship, we thought it most appropriate to inform those who donated that very close to $10,000 was received.
Our family is most thankful for the generosity shown us.
Lindsay’s mom, her brothers, her grandmother, and uncle and aunt are all alumni of OHS.

Just found this on the Washington Post's web site. Will be filling this blog with details and analysis of the Henderson sentencing soon but thought this piece was too relevant not to pass along.
Stay tuned.

The Henderson Sentencing: Today's the Day
In just a few hours, Shawn Henderson will receive his sentence for murdering Lindsay Harvey. Today's Gazette has a short preview of today's hearing basically rehashing the incident, Henderson's convictions and those of his co-assailants, who were already sentenced earlier this year. The article also gives brief mention to Henderson's previous crimes and the mechanisms Henderson was able to use to obtain his early release from prison.
The Gazette will no doubt have more on this. The Washington Post plans to cover the hearing as well.
