      April 28, 2025
      On April 8, 2024, junior Alex McManus and sophomore Brian von Suskil planned on driving to Starbucks early in the morning to grab breakfast while they applied for classes. Thinking the coffee house would be crowded, they decided to go to McDonalds instead. This change would alter 71-year-old Terry Dennis’ life forever. “Two older guys that came in, which ended up being Terry and then his friend Fred,” McManus said. “They had sat behind us and I didn’t think anything of it. And then I just, like, my back faced them and I heard something smack the ground. I turned around and then Terry had fallen out like, coffee everywhere, he just fell out of his chair. He was lying on the ground.”
