The liutudion
To commemorate the lives of the
12 Accics who died in the 1999
Bonfire collapse, the city of College
Station will decorate Bison Park
with 12 dedicated street lightsanda
state marker.
Each street light will have a
miniature plaque with the deceased
Aggie’s name, class, hometown and
there w ill he a picture of a bonfire
above the name.
“We want something permanem
in memory of these students,” said
Margaret Griffith, co-chair of the
College Station historic preserva
tion committee and health educa
tion coordinator at A.P. Beutel
Health Center.
David Ceiling, special facilities su
perintendent and emergency shelter
coordinator for the city of College Sta
tion and the state markers w ill costbe-
tween S 900 and 1.100 and the costoi
the plaques has not yet been estimated
The state marker will have a state
ment about how the tragedy affected
the College Station community, alone
with a list of the Aggies w ho died.
At the top of the plaque, there
will be a picture of a train station r
and at the bottom, after the text, will 1
be a picture of a bonfire.
The committee agreed unani
mously to cast it in aluminum rathe: •
than bronze. They are being pro- -
duced by OMC Industries.

A&M’s plans for memorials and oth
er services.
