I'm not an Aggie TR, but had a nephew and niece at A&M in '99.
They were hit hard by the tragedy. Came home for Christmas that year and were in mourning as several of the students lost in the collapse were good friends of theirs.
The only other event in my life that stires up those same emotions I had that morning as I drove to work on campus that day was the emotions I felt when I drove home from work on September 11, 2001. I still cry everytime I remember those events.
