Memorial

On February 21. 1989. the
"Campus Voice" lost one of its
own. John Reaves, soorts
editor, was taken from us when
he was killed in an auto
accident. John was much loved,
respected, and admired by those
who knew him. An active sports
enthusiast and basketball
player, as well as sports editor
for this newspaper, John was
known around the campus as a
friendly person, always willing
to lend a hand to those in need.
Death is always tragic, but
It is even more so when the life
lost is a young life, full of
hopes and potential: hopes that
will never be realized,
potential that will never be
fulfilled. John was very much
loved for the wonderful person
he was.
He is sorely missed now that
he is Qone.
