I did the same. I hope they don't think that is strange.
OrlandoHokie • 02/05/26 11:59 AM ET
I’m sure they already knew we were strange.**

Gee, my message may have violated that standard. **

I mentioned TSL.**

I strongly believe it is indeed Major Kong...
Burruss Writer • 02/05/26 10:19 AM ET
Yeah, no way it isn't (solid detective work, by the way). RIP Kong**
JoesterVT • 02/05/26 10:41 AM ET
I think Lizard lives in Marion
TomTurkey • 02/05/26 09:53 AM ET
Uber thinks he passed.**
TomTurkey • 02/05/26 10:45 AM ET
Very sad if true. And I see he and I share a birthday. 67 is way too ...

`lag • 02/05/26 09:21 AM ET
I seem to recall Major Kong was at one time from the Lynchburg area.
TomTurkey • 02/05/26 08:13 AM ET
But the obit says he attended Varina HS. (northeast Chesterfield County?)**
TomTurkey • 02/05/26 12:10 PM ET
Varina is eastern Henrico County. New Market Rd - RT. 5**

Coach McGuirk • 02/05/26 07:44 AM ET
Could be. Will could certainly let us know if so. **
Stork • 02/05/26 07:22 AM ET
That is, if he knows we're asking. @Will Stewart**
Late 80s Hokie • 02/05/26 08:32 AM ET
If he'd known. As the Major would've said, "Sounds legit".
PhotoHokieNC • 02/05/26 07:30 AM ET
I seem to recall he attended Ferrum as well**
