I was being social last night.  It was wierd.  Went bowling with a group of 12 people I'd never met before (except for 2) from TexAgs for a couple hours (black light bowling was a blast) and then played mini-golf with two others. 

Great night, we'll probably do it again.

To The Aggie Family:

We are saddened to learn and notify you that the body of the only remaining missing member of the Galveston sailing team crew was recovered Sunday afternoon.

Our hearts and prayers go out to Mrs. Linda Stone, the Stone’s two children, and members of Roger Stone's family. Words cannot adequately express the depth of our condolences as they cope with the loss of their loved one. We hope they can take some comfort in knowing all five survivors of this tragic accident credit Mr. Stone with heroic efforts that were instrumental in making possible their survival. We now know that Roger Stone died a hero in the classic sense of the word.


While we continue to mourn the loss of his life, we are relieved and grateful beyond words for the rescue of the sailboat's four students-Steven Guy, Joe Savana, Travis Wright and Ross Busby-and Steve Conway, who, like Mr. Stone, was serving in the capacity of safety officer. I know that I speak on behalf of their families and friends when saying how thankful we are for their safe return.


I must emphatically thank the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard who responded so quickly and professionally to the call for help in the search for those aboard the Cynthia Woods. I know that same sentiment has been expressed by President Elsa Murano and others who came here to Galveston from the main campus to lend support.

We thank all of those who participated in the rescue effort, the Aggie Family, and all those who offered their prayers and support.
