Since we were first approached about the idea of creating a memoriam in the form of a book, the students involved have been working diligently.
The deadline is June 1 and is fast approaching. But more than worry about the actual date, we the students are only concerned with making this sincere, and as true as possible.
Many interviews have been conducted with university staff, professors, students, and those directly impacted at Norris and West AJ that day. Also many churches have spoken to us about their ordeals.
While some were interviewed, many chose to write instead. Survivor Derek O’Dell wrote nearly 7,000 words to tell his tale, and Ezra ‘Bud’ Brown submitted a narrative close to 10,000 words.
Due to the work load with the book, and because it is summer (we have lost most of our journalists), Planet Blacksburg has been updating, just not to the level that most are used to.
Kevin Cupp, our webmaster actually showed us a new design layout he has been working on. It looks good PB followers you should enjoy it.
We will try and keep you updated on the progress of the book as much as we can.
