EVT-5 NAMED GAP · THE EVENT ATTESTED IN THE BANKED RECORD, ITS TEXTURE UNREACHED

The funeral of the John Glenn School Corporation's superintendent in December 2003 stands in this build's banked people record as one of the town's great civic mournings; this section's assignment was its press texture, and the texture could not be reached. Two targeted searches of the open record returned nothing usable — the South Bend Tribune's and the Independent-News' December 2003 coverage of the death and funeral is not online in any form available to this seat. Nothing is added here, because nothing was found; an events leg that prints a funeral's crowd from imagination would fail the whole build's discipline. (One false scent is recorded to save the next runner the trip: the Verkler of the national record, Jerry T. Verkler, staff director of the Senate Interior Committee, is a different man, and his record is no part of this town's.)

Principal sources: the banked people record of this build (the event's attestation); the negative open-record run of this section (two searches), with settlers named.
