## Caption

"Imagine: walking on campus in cap and gown, family in tow, and you tell them, 'We have to get a photo in front of the Belltower.' We didn’t have a professional photographer, just a phone and a dad with an eye for angles! It’s starting to rain ever so lightly, when a man I have never met comes up to me and says, 'Would you like a photo not many students have?' That’s when he handed me a key and said I can open the door and walk in! I later found out this man is former Vice Chancellor Thomas Stafford. What an amazing experience I got to share with my family. As an NC State alum, I will always cherish this memory. Thank you, Dr. Stafford!"

We asked you to share your photos and memories to help us celebrate the upcoming completion of the Memorial Belltower, and you delivered.
