It's sad that something like this has to happen to put everything into perspective!! As Brett Vito said in his piece we may never know what happened but after hearing about him working with big brother and sisters and doing football camps with his coach gives us a pretty good perspective on his character. It got me thinking about doing something about it and thought i'd throw out an idea and see what you think. I think a reward should be offered to catch the person responsible for this terrible waste of life. I feel as a member of the team and Mean Green Family we have a responsibility to show we take care of our own and will not stand for this heinous action. I know First State Bank and Wells Fargo are sponsors of athletics maybe they would let us set up an account for a reward and possibly a future scholarship in his memory. What do you think? I can contact a bank and see if we can get this going that way it would easy to donate and we'd know the funds would be accounted for. Plus if there is any good can come from this I think this would help.

Its sad it takes something like this to put everything in perspective just how good we have it even in these "tough economic times"

You in?

good idea however we should wait for the investigation to take place first. i doubt that is the case here but sometimes 21 year olds do stupid things you would not think they would ever do.

I would be willing to contribute to either a reward or scholarship fund, or both, as the situation warrants. I just don't know how much, but probably will know more by next Saturday. Perhaps the event next Saturday would be a good time to start collections for a scholarship fund.

A Germaine Dawson Memorial Scholarship would honor and keep his memory alive indefintely. Much better choice IMO!

You never know what all is involved in stuff like this. I, too, would like to see how it shakes out. LPD are tenacious on this kind of crime, and I know this first hand. I believe they will catch this person (or persons) sooner than later.
