Title
Kristine Slade, student, former Senior Class President
Description
"I think the most interesting thing about it was seeing everybody inside of Halton, because Makala [Carrington] and I did not think that we were going to get all those people together in under 24 hours. We really just thought that it would only be like a couple hundred people, maybe like three or four hundred. And it turned out to be thousands. You know there [were] local officials there, a couple celebrities, but most importantly it was the Niner Nation community. And so that for me was like the first time that I think since hearing the news that I really had a deep solid cry and it was just more so the amount of love that was in that room. And the only way that I knew how to describe it for like weeks afterwards was that there was something beautiful in the tragedy, and it was seeing all of Niner Nation come together and not be in pain, per se, but just be uncertain with what was happening, but be uncertain together."
