Anna Panoka in Colorado passes word to me of the death of Dan Sprehe. He was a WIU grad who worked in Illinois and Wisconsin radio before moving on to the Chicago Inspector General's office. I did not know Dan but I am relaying this to all who did. I'm told he was in his early 30s and had been ill recently.

Records show that Bruce Rushton had just finished covering the Shirley Skinner murder trial for The State Journal-Register in Quincy on May 6 when he was pulled over outside the Adams County Courthouse and charged with driving with a suspended license and disregarding a stop sign.
