Ron Brightwell (MSU '91, '94)

I was very saddened to hear about Roger's passing. One of the highlights of the SC conference for me every year has been stopping by the MSU booth during the opening reception or finding Roger at the gala reception, drinking a beer, and catching up on things at State, HPC^2, and Starkville. The conversation always included a spirited discussion about bulldog sports. The only cowbell I have is the HPC^2 one that Roger gave me at SC several years ago. My youngest daughter loves to pull it out when we're watching games on tv, to cheer on the bulldogs (and to drive my wife crazy). I will miss seeing Roger, reminiscing about days past at the ERC, and remember him fondly for his passion about bulldog sports. And I will certainly think of him whenever I hear MSU cowbells ringing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
