Thanks for the post, rpbobcat.

Today, I'm wearing my Marshall ball cap as a way to honor all 75 victims of the crash. Today, though, I particularly remember Jeff Nathan, the sports editor of The Parthenon, who perished 53 years ago on that fateful day when the Southern Airways chartered jet that carried the team, coaches, administrators and some fans crashed as it approached Tri-State Airport. He was not only a student, but a friend. I have established an endowed scholarship in sports writing in his honor.

If anyone is interested in donating to this scholarship you may send a check to:

The Marshall University Foundation
519 John Marshall Dr
Huntington, WV 25703

Or you can donate online at:
https://give.marshall.edu/project/26398

In either case, be sure to designate your gift for the Jeff Nathan Memorial Scholarship.

In the past the scholarship has received generous donations from BAers. I deeply appreciate every one of them!
