10th Anniversary - A&M Bonfire collapse

It's the 10th anniversary of the Texas A & M Bonfire collapse.

I spent the day of the collapse at the private Christian high school at which I taught, trying to get word of our alumni who were on the bonfire that night. 12 Aggies were killed, bonfire as a campus recognized event was over, dozens were injured, and we had another example of a tradition that turned into a liability nightmare.

I'm thinking of the families, and all the Aggies who are remembering the victims. May light perpetual shine upon them.
