The family of Allen Duke, from left, Bri (sister), Evan (twin brother) and Emi and Brian Duke (parents) attended a dedication of Phase 1 of the Allen Duke Tutoring Center on Wednesday in the School of Business at Fort Lewis College. Allen Duke, a former FLC student, was struck and killed by a vehicle two years ago as he walked on the sidewalk on north Main Avenue. The family later learned that Allen Duke was tutoring other students at the time. As a tribute, the family helped set up a tutoring program. Two computers with software are available in the tutoring center, each with a video installed about Allen.
