One of our brothers, Mark Bingham, was tragically taken from us Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, during the terrorist attack on our nation that we are still trying to make sense of. He was one of the 38 passengers on hijacked United Airlines flight 93 that crashed outside of Pittsburgh. He was 31.
Mark epitomized what it means to be a Fog rugger. We all learned so much from him. Aside from being a superb player, "Bear Trap" was a true gentleman and a generous friend. He will be sorely missed.
What follows are emails and notes and media clips about Mark, and how he has touched so many of our lives.
Be well, Mark. We love you and miss you tremendously.
