Aggie Muster scheduled

Former students of Texas A&M will assemble in Lampasas April 21 for the annual Texas Aggie Muster to honor all Texas Aggies who have passed away within the last year, according to Muster chair Mike Mullican.

Various Muster activities include a meal, speaker and candlelight roll call.

Dr. Richard Adams, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at A&M, will be the speaker. His Power Point presentation will be "Texas A&M - Past, Present and Future."

Activities begin at 6 p.m. at the Holiday House, 908 E. Fourth St. all former and current students, their families and friends of A&M are invited.

Over the years, the Aggie Muster has grown to be one of Texas A&M's most revered traditions. Muster honors the memories of A&M men and women whose deaths prevent them from answering roll call at this year's muster.

Roll call is a roster compiled of former and current students who have died over the past year. As each name is called, a friend or family member will answer, "here," symbolizing their memory lives on in the heart of Aggies everywhere.

Muster is more than just a ceremony, said Mullican. It is also an annual way for Aggies to renew the loyalty and unity which constitute the foundation of their friendship for each other as well as their love and devotion for their school.
