Hi Shelley - both of you -thank you for your response :) I am too chicken to try and drive this time of year.... but we did find some good prices to fly, so we will get to go!

sorry to hear about your husband Shirley. What type of work does he do?

yes, that is the webpage I was talking about -
I'm really hoping he is not a grad and go - but any time with him will be worth it - Shelly did you drive in the winter? how was the drive? I'm chicken, I think we are going to fly -but we are making vacation out of it and going to PA afterwards to visit family.

Thanks Peggy, I did make reservations at the Navy Lodge.... I'm hoping the weekend is correct - the webpage says his div. graduates 2/27 - that is only 7 1/2 weeks since he left! Some Moms on Bootcamp for moms group say the dates are wrong... but for now I'm going with what the webpage says.

you might have the answer now, but here is the article:
Glasgow slaying suspect is dead
By MATTHEW BROWN of the Associated Press
GLASGOW - State investigators were trying Sunday to unravel what they termed a sniper-style shooting at the local hospital that left a woman and the suspect dead and two others wounded.
The homicide - Glasgow's first in more than a decade - shook residents and left authorities searching for a possible motive.
Melissa Greenhagen, 37, of Glasgow, a part-time emergency medical technician and clerk of state district court in Valley County, was killed in the Saturday evening shooting in the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital parking lot, police said.
Authorities said a female nurse and her husband were wounded after rushing to aid the woman. They were both listed in stable condition at the hospital but were not immediately identified.
Police said the suspect was later killed in a shooting involving police who followed a trail of blood to a house just south of town. However, they declined to provide any more details about how the unidentified suspect died.
Investigators were trying to identify the suspect and find a link between the suspect and Greenhagen.
Residents described how word of the shooting spread quickly through Glasgow, prompting homeowners to lock their doors and in some cases arm themselves. The town has about 3,500 people and is located about 50 miles south of the Canadian border.
“Everybody knew who was killed and everybody knew who was hurt,” said Marie Penderson, a local bartender who said she was an acquaintance of the victims. “We were all saying she couldn't be dead. We refused to believe it.”
Authorities locked down the hospital and a nearby high school basketball game following the shooting and suspended train traffic along the BNSF railway until the suspect was found.
No other suspects were being sought, Valley County Sheriff Glenn Meier said Sunday.
Meier and Glasgow Police Chief Lynn Erickson said it was the first homicide in the Glasgow area in 15 years.
“This has shocked all of us. Glasgow is place you feel comfortable raising your family,” said Randy Holom, chief executive of the hospital.
Holom said he was at the hospital's annual holiday party about three blocks away when he got a call about the shooting.
“When I got the call I thought it was a drill,” he said.
The three victims were shot about 50 yards from the hospital's emergency room entrance. The hospital was locked down until about 1 a.m. with about 40 to 50 staff and an undetermined number of patients inside.
