being sent even after Natarajan
had received his ring, they said.
Natarajan said he is still
amazed at how they kept the op
eration a secret.
“How it all happened is totally
a mystery to me,” Natarajan said.
“They wouldn’t tell me any de
tails. I’m still trying to figure out
how they got my ring size. It’s an
exact fit.”
Although Natarajan’s ring is
an exact fit, Bridget Hennessey,
one of many who participated in
the operation, confessed that the
ring size was a guess.
“We really guessed on the ring
size,” Hennessey said. “We took
the ring sizes of two guys about
the same size as Ran Jan and or
dered the ring on the bases of
their average.”
On the night Natarajan
dunked his ring, 40 of his friends
came to watch the event.
Amy Patterson, a close friend
of Natarajan’s, said she recalls
how excited he was the night he
dunked his ring.
“Ran Jan walked into the
Chicken saying T’m on top of
the world,’” Patterson said. “It
took him about 45 minutes to
dunk his ring.”
Today as Natarajan walks
through campus, he said everyone
seems to comment on his ring,
giving him a sense of how many
people made the project possible.
For those who haven’t heard
his story, Natarajan retells it
with a big smile, claiming that
events such as this are indicative
of the University.
“Something like this could only
happen at Texas A&M,” he said.
Even heroes need a hand
Our firefighters.
All of us in Texas are grateful to
them. Every day they brave smoke, heat,
exhaustion and fire to save our lives, our
homes, our property. Every day they risk
their lives. For us.
Firefighters have to live with the
strains of a uniquely demanding job, one
that does not always pay as well as it
should. And even though these men and
women are heroes to us, they have
everyday problems just like we do.
It’s time we gave them a hand.
The makers of Copenhagen® and Skoal®
would like to help. We have been in Texas
for generations. And now, as part of Our
continuing involvement in communities all
across the state, we would like to give a
little something back.
That’s why we've asked our
consumers to join with us to support the
Texas Firelighters Emergency Relief
Fund. Co-founded by U.S. Tobacco
Company and the Texas State
Association of Firelighters, this new
fund will provide timely aid to
firefighters as they cope with their
uniquely demanding lives.
To ensure this effort is a success,
we will donate a portion of our smokeless
tobacco sales over the next three months
to help these heroes. This is our way to
say thank you to them and all of you.
When the alarm sounds, they
are always there. It's time we were
there for them.

the Texas Firefighters Emergency
Relief Fund, 1 ()()() Brazos Street,
Austin, TX 78701.
In 1094, the firefighters
of Texas answered over 500,000
emergency calls.
