In Memoriam by Kirsten Reed Last year, Tammy Monique Walton, a close friend and classmate, was killed in a tragic car accident on November 1. Her sudden death was a shock to many and still, a year later, it’s hard to believe she’s gone. Tammy was a friend to anyone and everyone on campus and her smile seemed to brighten even the darkest of days. It seems only fitting we remember Tammy, her smile, her joy and most of all her love for life itself. We’ll miss Tammy but in our hearts Tammy’s memory will live forever at Brevard College. ^ometkina Yjeuj..^ncl (Exciting ^i^J^ere er6 Specializing In The Newest Method In Hair Design Free Form Art Coil For Free Consultation 883-2758 Drawing For Free Color, Perms, And Cuts College 143 E.
