This & That
• Fairleigh Dickinson University has declared Friday, March 21, 2008, as “FDU Day for A Journey for 9/11.” George Martin, former Giants football star, FDU alumnus (BA’87, Ruth) and former FDU trustee, has made national headlines in his “Journey for 9/11.” Martin is walking from the George Washington Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge to raise money for 9/11 rescue workers who have significant health problems. Kenneth Vehrkens, dean, Petrocelli College (Metro/Flor), and a member of the Journey for 9/11 board of directors, will join Martin in New Mexico on March 21 and walk 20 miles alongside him. To support Dean Vehrkens, “FDU Day for A Journey for 9/11” is seeking pledges for this cause. Martin has so far traveled more than 1,000 miles and as of March 11 was walking west of Kress, Texas. FDU is a sponsoring institution. For more information go to http://inside.fdu.edu/prpt/vehrkenswalk911.html or to make a donation, go to http://www.ajourneyfor911.info .
