75 Marshall University football players, coaches and fans perished in a plane crash
Nov. 14, 1970, on their way back from a game against East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. Warner Bros. is making a movie based on the 1970 Marshall plane crash titled “We Are Marshall.” The movie opens in theaters nationwide Friday, Dec.22. Excerpt from the Herald-Dispatch.com

Going to the movie today. I want to see it all on the big screen.

I attended Marshall University from 1981-1984. I received a bachelor's degree in education there. Those were wonderful years for me; there I had a sense of freedom. Freedom from the should and should nots of family, from everything that pressured me in former years.

Every year I would join the other students on campus around the Memorial fountain, established for the football team and coaches, who lost their lives as a result of that plane crash, to honor their memory.

My alma matre is on the big screen now!
