Bye-Bye Birdie at Virginia Seminary? Apparently Not Yet!

Did anyone read of the pink-flamingo crisis narrowly averted this past week? Plastic pink flamingos have been an unofficial tradition here at VTS since long before I arrived on the faculty. The unofficial seminary mascot is "Kery," a huge stuffed pink flamingo. There was some concern this week on campus, when MSNBC had an article that the factory that makes the birds in Leominster, MA is shutting down after 49 years. But do not fear, my TA, Kitty Guy, emailed to assure me that another company is buying the molds and plans to keep the national supply of flamingos well ahead of demand.
