I have removed the court room notes as things are becoming more detailed and need to be kept private. Please email me if you would like to be included in the updates, but not everyone will be allowed to read about the proceedings. I apologize, but you know how it is...
An article ran in the Skokie Review briefly describing the court hearing on Tuesday that I have copied here - (story ran on 11.17.05)

It takes a minute to load all the thumbnails and the first image. Scroll with the arrow buttons, click on the thumbnails, or there is a "play" button in the bottom right corner of the window that will slideshow (slowly) through them all.
Let me know if you have any favorites, and certainly pass along the link to anyone in the bands or others within Shure. I'd be happy to release images from the show for any worthwhile cause within the company or for charity purposes.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the show. It was an amazing tribute to those guys and a great evening!
A Quilt memorial for John
Kerstin Glick (John's sister-in-law) and
Annie Hill along with two other friends put together the blanket squares this
past weekend for the Blanket Project. There were over 120 people who sent in knitted
squares from all over the world- Canada, England, Australia, and all
over the United States. They also received squares from friends of John
and Becky's from college. I am told there were many notes included with the
blanket squares that were truly touching and thoughtful.
Here is a link to the post where the blankets are shown
