Watch - Parachutist crashes into the scoreboard during the Virginia Tech game
Awesome part at 48 second mark
James Franklin’s daughter was there to say “Its not my daddys fault.”
One of my best friends in the world graduated from VT, we met in college while working at a cannery in Alaska one summer, worked for four summers at that place, I was proud to be in his wedding.
He told me the line about ‘dirt roads’ — It’s not being rude to mention it, it’s rather like a proud flag to wave.
Best,

Wasn’t Dr. Hann in the 70’s involved in real estate while working to make sure new dorms weren’t built?
Tech has always had a love\hate relationship with dorms. Mostly, they want students off-campus. Adolf Hitler even commented on the dorm situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73r_pNHLlko
Thank you. And the flag never touched the ground.
