swollen

I remember Ryan “Stack” Clark. Despite his significant involvement in both the RA and Marching Virginians communities, I knew Ryan, first, as a friend. It was our running joke to ignore each other when we spotted the other on campus, wait until we had passed by, then turn around and shout hello, blaming the other for the purposeful ignorance.

A friend passed along this photograph.

The convocation/ceremony today was appropriate and I am fervently glad I attended.

To articulate things in another realm, I am still having a hard time listening to music. Silence is the only appropriate background.

Also, I keep whispering to myself: Wow.

And thank you to everyone for their thoughts and support.

    The video images on TV of last night’s candlelight vigil were really impressive.

    Another Wow!

    I don’t really know what to say. I think about you throughout the day and whenever I hear news. I feel terrible. I consider you a friend and it hurts me to see my friend hurt. I am sorry.

    Ryan,
    I have been thinking about you a lot in these past couple days. I’m glad you are ok man. I’m really sorry about your friend. Sorry we haven’t kept strongly in touch either. Send me an e-mail sometime. Let me know how you are.
