For most Americans, the words "Lockerbie, Scotland" evoke one
image: the iconic photograph of the battered nose cone of a Pan Am
jumbo jet surrounded by bodies, investigators, and debris on a
lonely hillside. For members of the Syracuse University community,
the words represent the loss of 35 students, who died returning
from a semester abroad when their jet exploded over Lockerbie. The
terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988, killed
all 259 people aboard, plus 11 Lockerbie residents, in a tragedy
that remained the deadliest terror attack on U.S. citizens until
9/11. The event forever linked the U.S. with Lockerbie, whose
residents provided unsparing help and sympathy to victims'
families. Greatly touched by the warmth and generosity of
Lockerbie's inhabitants, two Syracuse University professors and a
group of student writers and photographers set out to expand the
world's understanding of the small town?its history and nature, and
the lives of its residents?redefining Lockerbie beyond the events
of one fateful day. On many trips over 12 years, photography
professor Lawrence Mason, Jr., and magazine professor Melissa
Chessher brought more than 50 students to capture the town in
images and words. Through stunning photographs and personal
vignettes, Looking for Lockerbie introduces to the world some of
Lockerbie's most engaging personalities, events, and places: its
last milk delivery man, its boy racers, and a local model; a Burns
supper and the town's annual gala; its cheese factory, its high
school, one of the area's few remaining rural schools, a Tibetan
Buddhist monastery, and many of the castles, ancient stone sites,
and Roman landmarks that make this borderland town historically
significant. The book celebrates the connection between a "wee"
Scottish town and an American university, forged from the grief and
sorrow arising from a single horrific air disaster.
