A memorial fund has been established for Ryan L'Homme, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha's new colony at Fla. State. He had made the dean's list during his first freshman semester.

In a PiKA vs Chi Phi softball game in Mar., 2000, Ryan was running towards second base when hit in the temple by a ball thrown by the shortstop. He died the next day.

Not to mention the shortstop. That guy must be feeling some heavy guilt. So sad.

This accident was truly a sad event, coming so soon after the chapter's rechartering.

However, I wonder why you are publishing this information TWO YEARS after the event occurred.

I got the info from the FSU alumni mag.
