December 13th marks the 45th anniversary of a plane crash near Evansville that claimed the lives of 29 people, including the University of Evansville’s men’s basketball team, supporters of the Purple Aces, and the flight crew.
The University of Evansville will conduct two services on Tuesday to commemorate the anniversary and remember those who died.
Both will be open to the campus community and public.
A daytime service will be held at noon at Memorial Plaza on campus, located directly behind Olmsted Hall.
Afterwards, a reception will be held in the Class of 1959 Gallery located on the second floor of Ridgway University Center.
The evening service, which begins at 7:00 p.m., will be held inside Neu Chapel.
