Excerpts from Ryan C. Clark's obit:
...Ryan C. Clark's favorite place in the world was Camp Big Heart, a summer spot in Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, Ga. Every summer for the past eight years, he spent two weeks at the camp for mentally impaired children, first as a volunteer counselor and, later, as music director
...."He had degrees in psychology, biology and English," his brother said. "A brainiac. He planned to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. He wanted to work with the mentally impaired."
....Ryan Clark was a resident adviser in the West Ambler Johnston dormitory, where he was killed Monday when he left his fourth-floor room to investigate a report of a dispute, friends said.
It seems that every person I hear about who died at Virginia Tech was exceptional. This Ryan above is just one of so many people who just really seemed like wonderful people which, to me, makes this whole thing so sad..special people dying.
One positive thing I see from watching the news these past few days is that there are still so many good kids in the world. From the students who survived talking about their fallen friends and family, it speaks volumes about the great kids at Virgina Tech. Virginia Tech should be immensly proud. This event placed the spotlight on them at their worst moment, but the result is that we see their best and their best is quite nice.
