An audience with..... Nate Dykeman

Ok, a couple of people said they might be interested in this.

If you could ask Nate Dykeman any three questions, what would they be? They can be about anything really - life after the shooting, something about Eric and Dylan you think he might only know, what his favourite soda is. Up to you. I expect they would likely be in relation to stuff people would like to know about Eric, and in particular Dylan.

I would ask if he was recruited to go NBK

1. How did you realize Eric and Dylan were involved in the shooting?
2. Can you tell us anything about what was done with Eric's body or whether a funeral service was held for him?
3. Did you know anything about their plans?

Honestly I'd ask about Dylan and Erics' outbursts , especially Eric's. People say he had these moments of pure rage but , well, from all the videos of him he looks very docile. I'm having a hard time imagining him screaming at anybody or punching walls. Heck , even in Hitmen 4 Hire he seemed very harmless even though he was yelling.

This is one of the biggest things I wanna know about too. Although, I doubt Nate Dykeman could shed any light on this. As far as I know, not a single person has spoken publicly about Eric's funeral which makes me think either there was no funeral (perhaps just a quiet cremation) or the Harris' didn't even claim Eric's body. I would hope that they did considering it was their son, but I just don't know.

If they didn't claim his body I feel like the news would have picked that information up like when it happened with the Tsarnaev brother. I feel like they just cremated him and family put the ashes somewhere.

1) What did you and Dylan talk about during these sleepovers you had mentioned in Sue's book?

2) Tell me more about this:

Quote :

I had not seen Dylan on Tuesday, but Eric I saw briefly just as I was leaving. I go home every day for lunch. And as I was pulling out at lunchtime, I saw him walking in the school.

Taken from his GMA interview on April 30th 1999.
Was he carrying anything? Anyone else nearby? Etc.

3) When did Eric tell you he was rejected by the Marines? What else did he say?

Quote :

"Dylan and I were the first ones Eric told about the rejection," Dykeman told the Enquirer. "He asked me, 'Where do I go from there?' He saw it as a last option."

- From RMN (My link doesn't work anymore but I can post the full article if it hasn't been already)
(This whole Marines business makes no sense to me)
For a bit of background:

Quote :

according to the Marine recruiter Eric was never officially notified he had been rejected. The phone call informing Eric he would not be eligible was made to the Harris home requesting Eric call the Marine corps back on either 04-16-99 or 04-17-99 and Eric did not return this call.

As we know Eric was also still speculating about joining the Marines to Mark Manes on 4/19.

It's called going off your meds which can cause extreme rage.

My questions for Nate:
1.What exactly did Dylan say to you about not wanting to get involved in a relation while in HS and how many times did he say it?

2.I know you were utterly shocked that Dylan did this .What about Eric?

3.Did you still miss Eric and Dylan today?
