Oxford, MS> Two University of Mississippi students from Vicksburg won a couple of the hottest tickets in town Thursday, joining about 150 lucky winners of an exclusive process for a chance to witness history. Laura Blackledge, a senior dietetics and nutrition major, and Colin Reid (below), a junior international studies major and Spanish minor, were informed their names had been pulled by Chancellor Robert Khayat from a pool of applications submitted online by students in positions of leadership for seats inside the Gertrude C. Ford Center for tonight’s planned presidential debate. Both students graduated from St. Aloysius High School in Vicksburg.
I watched ABC News reporter David Muir of ‘Good Morning America’ at Ameristar Casino this morning talking about Vicksburg. GMA is in Mississippi for the presidential debate in Oxford tonight. A minutes-long segment from Vicksburg included comments from residents discussing politics, the economy and sites of Vicksburg. Charming, Just Charming!
