URBANA – Leal Elementary School students filled a time capsule and buried it 28 years ago. And it might have stayed buried, if it weren't for a fourth-grader, his mentor, and a former Leal student who was there when it was buried.
Suzanne Linder was in the first grade at Leal when the time capsule was buried in 1981. She remembers students putting in class pictures and some illustrations in the style of a children's author favored by one of their teachers, and maybe a list of what certain items cost at the time.
