‘Don’t feel like a hero’ says Wyllie who assists in river searches

Through his dark sunglasses, Dennis Wyllie stared out into the waters flowing by inside the banks of the Kankakee River.

Exactly one week from the frantic July 16 afternoon hours when a 6-year-old Kankakee boy went into the river immediately east of the Kankakee Valley Boat Club, Wyllie returned to the scene for the first time.

Brilliant sunshine filled the sky just as it did on that fateful day. There was only a calm breeze, just like there had been July 16.
