Morgan Dana Harrington Memorial Scholarship Established for VTC School of Medicine

Memorial Service to be Held on Friday, Feb. 5

With sad hearts, we learned last week that Morgan Dana Harrington was found in a remote part of a field on a farm near Charlottesville.  Although this was not the ending we wished, knowing that Morgan is no longer missing brings some measure of peace.  Many have asked what they can do now.
