Re: A Moment of Silence

Not sure if we're the first to implement, as I haven't looked too far elsewhere...

You might be interested in looking up the Texas A&M Aggie tradition of "Muster". Once a day, around the world, Aggies gather to either a local spot or to College Station to meet up. The names of all Aggie graduates that have passed in the last year are read. It ends up being a number of folks, simply because A&M has been around awhile, and many people are dying of natural causes... plus we've graduated quite a few people over the years.

It's pretty powerful knowing that some day when you die, you will be remembered by the entire Aggie student body as a brother/sister.

Anywho, this is a great Aggie tradition, and I could see it becoming a very powerful FIRST tradition if someone led the charge to get it implemented. It's always sobering to remind ourselves that life isn't a guarantee, and it helps remind me to make sure I'm living each day as thought it was my last, and being grateful for each one.

Steven
