[Ryan Clark], otherwise known as Stack to his friends, had set his sights high after graduation-with hopes of earning a Ph. D in psychology with a focus in neuroscience. It is ironic given that his dreams were cut short by a mentally ill loner by the name of Seung-Hui Cho, whose deadly shooting spree claimed 32 lives, including that of Clark who stumbled across the shooter in his own efforts to assist one of his residents-19-year-old Emily Hilscher-the massacre's first victim. He lost his life rushing to the aid of another student, which did not come as a huge surprise to those who knew him. Clark, a member of Virginia Tech's Marching Virginians band for five years, spent his summers as a counselor at a camp for disabled kids.

For one day, he was part of Virginia Tech's marching band, the Marching Virginians. Better still, he was playing "the hokeypokey" at Lane Stadium at the Hokies' first home game of the season.
THE INK WAS BARELY DRY on the secession proclamation. Just two weeks had gone by, yet Virginians were marching off to war with a whoop and a holler, ready to take on those dastardly Yankees for threatening to invade their soil.
