In the sea of Daily Cardinal alumni who gathered in Madison for the newspaper?s 120th anniversary last weekend, a small group of two dozen, reconnected by hope, comforted each other in a time of tragedy. A group of approximately 50 alumni created the ?Shadid Brigade? on Facebook last spring, after their friend, former Cardinal colleague and The New York Times Foreign Correspondent Anthony Shadid was kidnapped in Libya. But tragedy soon struck when Shadid passed away in February from an asthma attack in Syria.
