About me: I lived in Mt. Prospect from 1960-68. Our school was shown a very graphic 16mm film documentary of the fire when I was in second grade in 1962. I will never forget the fear I felt in watching it--I certainly could not imagine experiencing that horror. I suppose this is why the story still haunts me and anyone who lived in the Chicago area in those days. Thanks for creating this remarkable website, and sincerest best wishes to all of the courageous survivors and their families. Melanie
