Sorry for getting this up late but I rushed to Lynchburg yesterday to cover the Rev. Falwell’s death.

Campus was very quiet. Many people were in shock. Students thought Falwell was invincible. Some commented that they believed he would live another 10 or even 15 years.

My partner in crime, Pam Podger, and I wrote for The Roanoke Times.

Although this is a sad event, I can tell you that things will change very little at the University. Administration was preparing for something like this — evident in Jerry Jr.’s growing responsibilities at the school in the past few years.

Jerry Jr. will replace Falwell as Chancellor.

Here is another story on his influence from TRT.
