Sad News...
Well.. before I get to the sad, let me start off by updating you all on the situation presented in my last post. It seems that due to popular demand (possibly) HokiePundit has returned from the dead! There have been several posts made in the last few days. so HOORAY for that.

Anyway, I just got word from my dad that a Sunday School Teacher (Gary Epperly) I had while in the youth group at Bonsack Baptist Church (he was also very active with the youth group in other aspects as well) just drowned on Tuesday night while at Myrtle Beach. My dad sent me an email this morning to inform me of the news but hasn't heard anything of the details yet. He wasn't very old (possibly in his mid thirties to early fourties). His wife and child are on their way back to Roanoke and the visitation is tonight.... if I didn't have a test tomorrow morning I'd probably go back to the visitation. His son is probably in 3rd or 4th grade and is autistic. I'm not sure, but I think his wife has been a stay-at-home mom in order to help their son along and Gary has been the supporter of the family.

Well, until I hear more, please remember Susan (Gary's wife) and Benjamin (his son) as they're dealing with this tragedy.
