Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and VMI rat lovers! My nephew, Ronald is attending VMI and he is now officially a member of the class of 2013! He broke out of the Rat Line earlier this month!
You are not given the honor of being a member of your graduating class until you complete what they call the RAT LINE!
Congratulations Ronald. Your family is very proud of you as well as many in bassethoundtown! We look forward to following you for years and years to come!
More being very proud later….Love, Aunt Cat, Chaps and Emma
