With
all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is
worth reflecting on the death of a very important person,
which almost went
unnoticed last week.
Larry
LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokie Pokey" died peacefully at the
age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting
him into the
coffin. They put his left leg in. And
then the trouble started…
You know it's funny. Now send it
on to someone else and make them
smile.
Haha that's terrible!!
What I want to know is......did Larry LaPrise REALLY write that song??? And did he really just die?
We do the hokie pokie at every VA Tech Game..they are the Hokies.
