My condolences

I'm shocked and deeply saddened by the events at Virginia Tech University
this morning. I'm glued to the television. If any of our newgroup has
friends or family affected by this awful event, I send you my thoughts and
prayers.

Thanks, Kathyl. I've got several indirect connections
to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University. (AKA Virginia Tech for short.) DH is a
grad; I've got great memories of our campus dates there
.... some of the buildings you see on TV are familiar to
me. Currently, several of our friends have
sons/daughters at Tech. I haven't heard from all of
them yet. This is just heart breaking. Prayers are
welcome! PAT

My DB lives up there. I found out about it when he called to say he
was OK but couldn't get in touch with a friend/room mate who works at
Tech. His friend has since check in, as well as various students he
knows. Scary stuff. The numbers keep going up.

A terrible day for all involved...and those of us watching. My thoughts are
with you. A similar but smaller scale incident happened on our campus
(University of Iowa) in the early 90's. I'm sure it's bringing up some bad
memories for many here in town.

Pat, I've been thinking of you ever since I heard about this on the
morning news. Amazingly, we didn't hear about it until 9:30 *Pacific*
time! I can't imagine the grief that must be drowning all of the family
and friends of the people on campus this morning.

Following Columbine, most schools (elementary through H.S.) were made
more secure by means of closing campuses and issuing IDs. How in the
world would a college campus be made secure, given the numerous
buildings and the comings and goings of all of the students? It has to
be an impossible task.

Ditto. I didn't know a thing about it till I got off work and was on my way
home. What a tragedy!

My son has many friends at VT. He was raised in VA, but attends college in
PA. He told me this afternoon that he's been in touch with everyone he
knows, but I wonder when the names come out, if he/we won't know someone. I
feel so sorry for the parents who haven't been able to get in touch with
their sons/daughters on campus yet. It's a parent's worst nightmare!

I hope this doesn't touch anyone your son knows personally. But, of course,
everyone will share in the grief. Those poor poor parents. I just can't
imagine the pain.
