I was very happy to run across this bit of news from The UVa Today News Blog. Here’s an excerpt from the post that was made Friday (read the whole post here):

Bob Sweeney, the senior vice president for development, took the time to call attention to a “naming report.”

The gymnasium at the Aquatic and Fitness Center — where the photo at right was taken — has officially been designated as the “Mark E. Fletcher Gymnasium.”

Mark was always quick to smile and wave anytime I saw him over the years, even those times that I’ve played in that gym since graduating in 2000. He, by all accounts, was one of the nicest people you’d ever meet – something that I agree with wholeheartedly. I can tell you first hand that his family is cut from the same cloth.

Without question, this is a well deserved honor. Well done UVa, well done!
