It has been both an honor and a privilege to work on behalf of the Class of 2006 to create our ring collection. I am confident the Class of 2006 will cherish their Class ring for decades to come. The ring collection has been a tradition seeking to capture the experience of Virginia Tech in something that can be worn every day. I believe that our committee, our advisors, and Balfour have created a ring collection that does just that.

I would personally like to thank the Class of 2006 Ring Design Committee members: Amy Hay, Alan Campbell, Sumeet Bagai, Jeremy Daniel, Amanda Mullins, Corey Gallagher and Chelsea Butterfield for their time, dedication, and spirit which they brought to every meeting. Shari Malone and Laura Wedin for their guidance throughout this process we owe special thanks. Also Rand DuPriest, Sheila Lamb, and Sam Jordan and the countless others at Balfour for letting our ideas become realities and for holding Virginia Tech’s ring tradition in high regard. Finally I would like to thank Dr. and Mrs. Paul E. Torgersen for the time they have so generously given to our committee and more importantly to Virginia Tech. Dr. Torgersen’s vision and direction during his tenure as President have directly influenced and shaped the outstanding reputation and prestige of our university.

Your ring is a symbol of your time here at Virginia Tech. Wear it with pride and remember your fond memories, your friends, and your alma mater.

Sincerely,
Steve Ryan
