Yesterday evening, I attended the vigil at The Paris-Yates Chapel on campus. It was a very solemn time and the men of ATO were there and I have never been so sad in my entire life. One of the men who died, Will Townsend, I met him a few times this summer through some of his alumni and he was a wonderful man, like all of the men who perished in the fire. However, it is so sad because Will went back into the ATO house to save his brothers. Will was the sort of guy who made you feel good, he made you laugh, and he had a head on his shoulders. (His father was also an ATO at Ole Miss)

There was also a candlelight vigil walk on campus last night that the Kappa Sigma's help sponsor and it was a very sad time. Today it is raining here in Oxford. On all of the local news channels last night the story was their top story...everytime I watched a different channel report (some were delayed because of the Olympics) I had to cry again.

The ATF is here to investigate and they said they should know what the cause of the fire was as soon as possible.

As far as the football game goes next weekend, I have not heard about it being cancelled yet but I can assure the spirits of Ole Miss alumni, students, and fans will not be the same next weekend.

I've lived in Oxford for 8 years (6 were for school) and I've never seen a tradegy like this hit our campus so hard.

Thank you for everyone keeping our Ole Miss community in their prayers and especially the men of Alpha Tau Omega.
