recruited to assist and many more involved in the tragedy. I'm glad that with help he recovered from the trauma and continued with his career.

The loss impacted a great number of people, the school and the community at large. Two relatives were born at Cabell Htgn. Hospital and one graduated from MU. We heard about the accident the following day. Unforgettable.
