Chicago TV to Feature North Park Professor

CHICAGO, IL (June 24, 2003) - Warren Wade, professor of politics and government at North Park University (NPU), will appear in an interview on the History Channel today (June 24).

"Lightning," which will air locally (CDT) at 8 p.m., explores how man has tried to control natural phenomena throughout history. The episode is part of the History Channel's Nature Tech series, which examines nature's deadliest forces.

During his interview, which took place last October, Wade talks about the loss of his 20-year-old son, Scott Wade, who was struck by lightning while officiating a youth soccer game in Park Ridge seven years ago. The special will also talk about the early warning detection system that was installed in Park Ridge and 18 other parks in the Chicagoland area in response to his son's death.
