Colleen Brunner, Lynne Hartunian, and Pan Am Flight 103

In September 2015, a memorial was dedicated in honor of four victims of tragedy, who were also SUNY Oswego alumni. Located between Seneca and Tyler Halls, the memorial was dedicated in honor of Lynne Hartunian ’89 and Colleen Brunner ’90, two victims of 1989’s Pan Am Flight 103, and Michael Hannan ‘89 and Richard Caproni ‘89, both victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. Dubbed “Free and Easy Forever,” the memorial took its name from “Wooden Ships” by Crosby, Stills and Nash, Hannan’s favorite song. “Free and Easy Forever,” was built using funds from the classes of ‘89 and ‘90, the collection of which began in 2013. The original renderings were unveiled as a special event during Reunion 2014. The memorial accompanies the already existing memorial tree, also in honor of Hannan and Caproni.
