I currently live about 45-50 minutes away from the Marshall campus in southern Ohio. All of our local news comes out of Huntington, W.V., the home of Marshall. Twice a year the people and students of Marshall gather on campus to turn a fountain on in the spring and turn it off in the fall to remember the members of the Herd killed in that plane crash. Keith Morehouse, the sports anchors at WSAZ TV in Huntington lost both parents in the crash. The city of Tuscaloosa is to be commended for honoring these 4 young men from the state of Alabama! Well done!
