Flick Memorial

Colleagues and students gathered in the Whiting High School gym to pay tribute to Principal Dirk Flick on Wednesday evening in a memorial where anyone who cried would "be suspended," according to his son, Chuck Flick. More than 200 people gathered to laugh and admire the man credited with changing Whiting into the place "where teachers could teach and students could learn."
