QJ to tHe eDitoR: To the Editor: QJ On behalf of the University of South Carolina and the Gamecock family, I would like to express our sincere thanks to President Clements and Clemson University for the expressions of sympathy and support following the recent tragic event on our Columbia campus. We were moved by the Tiger voices expressing support on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and we were especially appreciative of the decision by many Clemson students and alumni to wear garnet and black in solidarity last Friday. I believe the hashtag says it all, #TwoSchoolsOneState. JM Thank you very much.
