Hill House to hold vigil for late student Yang, an international student from Korea, was killed last Tuesday after the bicycle he was riding collided with a large truck near the corner of 33rd and Spruce streets. Yang's funeral was held last Thursday at a Korean funeral home in the Olney section of Philadelphia. His family flew in from their home in Cairo, Egypt, to attend. Many of Yang's friends from Hill House and fellow crew team members were also present at the service, conducted entirely in Korean. Following the service last Thursday, Yang's body was transported back to Korea, where he was laid to rest next to his grandfather. -- Rod Kurtz
