[edit] Purvis Parker and Quadrevion Henning

Whilst I am very sorry these boys drownned, this seems to be little more than a footnote in local history. There is no ongoing investigation, no widespread media interest and no controversy surrounding the tragic accident, which unfortuntely is all too common worldwide Jackyd101 15:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - As a Milwaukeean I must agree that this was only of local interest. Sulfur 17:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I decided to withhold my decision for now as I'm curious what others' thoughts are. The story made it to the AP news wire and CNN, so maybe it was one of those epic "local boy trapped in the well" stories on a smaller scale. Sulfur 17:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
