A Fitting Memorial

How can we appropriately honor the memories of those we shared classes and conversations and social get-togethers with?

Here are some ideas that are circulating right now. Perhaps you'd like to give us your opinion:

1. One idea is to make a collective contribution to Habitat for Humanity (who build homes for the needy) or to a St. Petersburg food pantry, food distribution service, etc.
2. Another idea is to purchase a bench to be placed in a new courtyard at Northeast. The names of each of the deceased classmates would appear on the bench, in a courtyard marked by a model of a large Viking ship.
3. Hold a raffle, with the proceeds going to the agreed-upon memorial project or organization, etc.

Try looking at the topic this way: What would be meaningful to you if you were on the Memoriam list? How would you like to be remembered?

Your comments are invited and much needed.

I think purchasing a bench with our classmates names would be a great way to permanently memoralize those who can only be with us in spirit.
