Barbara Brandt (BFA'86, MA'90) Not really about clothes, but… Just about the time We Are Marshall was released, I was teaching a CPR class in New York City. The class was getting ready to begin – people were getting settled and I was speaking with one of the students when behind me another student’s phone began to ring – playing Sons of Marshall! I turned around and looked at him, but then had to continue my conversation. When I finished my conversation, the gentleman whose phone had gone off immediately began to apologize thinking I had looked at him so suddenly because I was annoyed his phone had rung. I immediately explained that I recognized the song and that I had gone to Marshall for both undergrad and grad school. He said he had graduated from Marshall in 1972 – had known many people on the plane and that his son was currently attending Marshall. We talked for quite a while about Huntington, MU, the plane crash (I grew up in Barboursville and my family knew many people on the plane) and the movie. AND – now my phone plays Sons of Marshall when it rings.
Thomas A. Damron
('55) of Plano, Texas. I was
shopping at Sam's Club on Coit Road in Dallas and had just left the
store, pushing a cart to my car. I was wearing my MU t-Shirt because
it was nearing 105 degrees that afternoon. I heard someone yelling,
and running footsteps coming toward me. I was having a hard time
understanding what the person was yelling as it was in a heavy
accent.
