I remember a few years ago that my best friend from college was telling me about where her dad went to school and that there was a big crash that he missed because he was taking a test or something. I just talked to her again and she did confirm for me that her dad did go to Marshall and was a member of the team but didn't travel with the team that weekend because he had to do something with class. How creepy is that? She then told me that he left Marshall after that year, his freshman year, and went back to New York where he went to another college and became a police officer. It just blows my mind to think of how close she is to that whole crash. It would have been awful if he was on that plane, especially for his family, but for me, not to be selfish, I would have never had her as my best friend. Just makes you think.
