We remember the students and faculty at Virginia Tech, as return to their school today, just one week after the tragedy at Blacksburg. Many families and communities were effected, including ours. Ryan Clark the 2nd victim was from my area. He was a 2002 Graduate of Lakeside High school near Augusta. He was a senior at Va. Tech, played in the marching band and was to graduate with 3 majors.
The memorial for Ryan was held Saturday. "The Marching Virginians" Va tech's marching band traveled to Augusta for his memorial. The word spread through the community that these students were coming. Restaurants, Hotels , churches and business people all wanted to chip in. They made sure the students had meals, rooms and what ever they needed to help make their trip a little easier. There is also a memorial fund started to help offset the cost of the funeral.
I was proud to see my community pitch in and help the family of Ryan Clark and his friends from Va. Tech
May God bless them all learn more about Ryan Clark
