Several universities in Texas are paying tribute to the victims of the floods in the Hill Country for Week 1 of the college football season.

In tribute to Orion Knox Jr., 81, one of four St. Mary’s University students who discovered what is now Natural Bridge Caverns, a special commemoration to honor the legendary caver is being planned in the near future, according to a spokeswoman for Natural Bridge Caverns.

SAN ANTONIO – The same company that puts up thousands of Christmas lights over San Antonio’s famed River Walk, Decor IQ, has donated an illuminated tribute to the victims of last summer’s mass shooting outside a Wal-Mart in El Paso. “Our heart goes out to them and what they’ve been through,” said Mark Metzger, co-owner of Decor IQ. Known for its elaborate holiday installations nationwide, El Paso International Airport is one of the company’s clients.
