Carolina a different shade of blue today
Posted Mar 27, 2007
I think Jason Ray found out Monday morning that Heaven really does have a Carolina Blue sky. I think Jason Ray found a place Monday morning where UNC beats Duke every night. I think Jason Ray will be Carolina's mascot in a much better place. On Monday, Jason died from injuries he received when he was hit by an SUV on Friday near his hotel in Newark. In addition to being Ramses the Carolina mascot, Jason was about to graduate with a business degree having minored also in religion. Along with the azaleas and magnolias of Chapel Hill, his world was going to blossom in May.
