Remembering Khalid

Members of the campus community joined the family of Khalid Shahid '99 for a memorial service Oct. 24 at the gazebo near the tennis courts. Shahid, a former Montclair State tennis player, was killed in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. Shahid played for the Red Hawks from 1996 to 1999, and served as co-captain for one year. "He was the type of athlete who went to practice because he wanted to be there, not because he had to be there," said Brian McLaughlin of Athletics, who coached Shahid for one season. "He will not be forgotten." A plaque commemorating Shahid's life was unveiled and now hangs on the gazebo.
