Personal impact of bank robbery connects us all

To the editor:

For people who have never been to northeast Nebraska, who have not lived away from towns the size of Cape Girardeau (my hometown), the 90 miles between Norfolk, Neb., and my present home in Niobrara, Neb., is a shopping commute.

The murderous bank robbery affected us personally. One victim's mother lives here among the approximately 400 people of the village. Another friend's brother was one of the policemen who arrested the suspects 50 miles from here. We are all connected.
