Ring Day was Sept. 16. Amid the celebration and many activities of the day, this video is a good reminder of the heart behind the Aggie Ring.
Tricia Macmanus '89 wrote this as a video description: "When our father, Jerry Macmanus - Class of 1949, lost his Aggie Ring 10 years ago, we searched through trash cans and even dumpsters. Alas, we never found his ring and he played it off as "no big deal". Although we knew a shiny, brand new ring would never truly replace the original, we decided to make a replacement ring his Father's Day present this year. With plenty of Aggies in the family to help make the surprise presentation (there are 22 of us now), we "marched in" and presented him with the honor - followed by, of course, the Spirit of Aggieland."
Talk about emotion, Aggies!
Also, talk about a legacy. Congrats and gig 'em, Mr. Macmanus!
