Journalism aay Classes resumed as usual Monday morning, in the Journalism Department, but there was some- thing definitely lacking. An outsider might think it would be the heat, but for one who knew, it was the sound of shuffling footsteps on the stairs leading to the studio and the big, hearty “Good Morning” to the first person in his path. It was the sight of a white Texas Stetson hat moving behind the filing cabinets in the studio of the Northwood Times and seeing cigarette smoke curl around the head of the man who made sure that people did things and did them right. Don Burchard is gone. He left dressed in the new suit his children gave him for Christmas, eagerly anticipating his “jaunt down south”. He had waited for this vacation for a long time and as a display of his happiness, he gave all his classes the next day off. His last words to the class were, “Goodbye, Merry Christmas and come back here scrounging for news.” 37
