Once again the old Sallisaw High School has been a place where people can go and vandalize.
This time the memory walk has been the target. Several, at least two of the large bricks close to the top of the walk have been stolen. I am not sure which ones, but one is on the Creek side of the walk above the large Benson family brick and below the Barger Family brick.
There are three other small bricks lying there which were not taken. These were three Bolls family bricks.
The other one was in the center of the walk: Between the Fine and Murell large bricks. Anyone who knows whose names were on these bricks please contact someone with the association. The president of the association is Shannon Fisher. Or contact the police as a report has been made.
It is amazing that people can sink so low as to steal something like that. It was delinquents - either adult or juvenile - who did this. It had to have happen within the last few days.
What is next? Why are people so easy to destroy something that is being preserved as part of our history? Do people not care about anything - it seems they do not.
If anyone has any knowledge of this please report it to the police or to an association member. Yes, there is still an association and they are trying to preserve what is left of a building that was destroyed by an act of stupidity and malice.
Help save what is left. There is still life left in the building and it will come back.
