I had feelings pulling me both ways. But the more I read and realize that I'm not the only one questioning it, the better I feel about not liking this proposition. Thank you for writing this.

They're getting some help from NIU administrators in being able to provide more shirts, so please check back at niumemorialshirts.com in the next few days. Right now, they're only able to process pre-orders. They got many more orders than they expected! When the Web site goes back up, you should be able to order with PayPal or a credit card. Debbie,

They just won't be taking any new orders until they're certain they can handle the volume of requests coming in. They'll be updating the Web site with the pickup location, and I'll try to post it here when they announce it. Sorry about the confusion. I'm not one of the students running the site or taking orders. I'm just getting the word out there for the students who started the site. As far as I know, the site will be operating normally again once they have enough shirts to fill orders. Again, if you've already ordered, there's no need to re-order. You can pick up your shirt at the NIU campus. The students running the Web site will be posting soon to let people know the specific pickup location. Thanks! Debbie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Not just the families---it affects the who community. Almost everyone you know in this area knows a student or someone that works at NIU. I would like to order 4 of the t-shirts. Please let me know how to pay for them and get the shirts. Debbie from Dr. Michalsen's office in Kirkland So sorry to hear of the tragedy at NIU.
