Remembering through art creation

By roanoke - Posted on 17 April 2008

4 p.m., Old Dominion Ballroom, Squires Student Center, Virginia Tech

Kelsey Andleton, 18, a freshman from Yorktown, Virginia, selects a rock from among those available in the Squires Student Center's Old Dominion Ballroom, where the Tech community was invited to create personal artwork on stones to commemorate and remember those who lost their lives in the April 16 tragedy.

Andleton painted a heart and "VT" on her stone.

"We all as a whole represent a stone. We share the strength and solidarity of a stone. Our differences make up a strong community," Andleton said.
