I was privileged last weekend to attend our school's Sport's Hall of Fame banquet. Vinny Testaverde, Roman Oben, Shamond Williams and FUMA legend Red Pulliam were inducted. (Click links to see articles)
The event was spectacular, and it made me pause to think about how a school, located in the middle of nowhere in the state of Virginia, has been party to such an outstanding athletic heritage. What am I talking about? Check out the list of Fork Union Military Academy's NFL alumni.
I am not one who tends to get overly excited about the athletic component of our school because I don't like it to overshadow our excellent academic program, nor minimize the achievements of the non-college athletes who leave here and are equally successful in other areas of life. But for now, I think I'll go with the proverbial flow...
Congratulations to all of this year's inductees.
