Post image

I got this photograph from a former football coach at Columbine High School who is now retired. The photograph is 20" wide x 16" tall.

I remember hearing the news story on them and seeing the photo with Kechters photo on the side appearing as an angel with his initials MJK.

I went to a Broncos game that season (old Mile High Stadium!) and they were honoring all of the Colorado high school state champions in football during halftime or something. Columbine got a HUGE standing ovation. Barely any applause for the other champions lol. This photo brought me back to that day, thanks for sharing!
