Food parcel to Iraq—Birmingham-Southern College fraternities recently sponsored a food drive to collect nonperishable items to send to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. More than $4,000 worth of food, toiletries, and other necessities was obtained from student meal card donations. However, the postage required to mail the items exceeded $6,000. That's when Major Matthew Ferguson (left photo), a U.S. Army officer with the 101st Airborne Brigade at Fort Campbell, Ky., provided the perfect solution. Ferguson, who visited Birmingham recently to be honored at a school luncheon, heard about the food drive from cousin Peggy LoPresti of BSC's Counseling & Health Services. He picked up the boxes from campus to carry to Fort Campbell where several units are waiting to be deployed, after which they will distribute the items to soldiers in Iraq.
