We Are...Marshall

The Marshall University Alumni Club of Wilmington sponsored a buffet dinner and private showing of "We Are...Marshall" tonight at the Mayfaire Cinema. The dinner was catered by Middle of the Island which did an outstanding job. The alumni club really put a lot of effort into this event and the turnout was amazing. Based on reviews of the movie, I was expecting something good and it did not disappoint. The movie is a true story about the 1970 plane crash which killed the entire Marshall University football team and is one of the greatest tragedies in sports history. The crash not only affected the school but the entire town as coaches, school administrators, boosters and fans were on the plane. It is a triumphant story of how the town of Huntington, WV rallied around the school and rebuilt the storied football program. I highly recommend this movie. Note: this movie contains emotional material, a plane crash and some language.
