Hélène Colgan
Clarence Colgan was watching the evening news the night of the massacre when he realized with horror that his daughter Hélène was in one of the classrooms stormed by the gunman. "I knew she was in there," he said. Hélène, 23, had purchased a plane ticket to go on a southern vacation with friends Dec. 29, her father said. She was a good student and who already had three job offers in mechanical engineering. "She had so many projects. She was a conscientious and patient girl, and always pushed things through to the end."
