In a Virginia Tech tradition begun in 1991, each class ring collection
honors a special person or couple, selected by the class. The ring
collection is named for the honoree, and that person is recognized at
Premiere and Ring Dance, becoming part of a select few to have such a
legacy. In celebration of 103 years of the Virginia Tech ring, the Class
of 2014 has selected Daniel W. "Danny" Bird Jr.'60 as their Ring
Collection Namesake.
