Dana, I don't know if you will remember me, I worked in the CEE Main Office. Your dad frequently brought you in the office when he came to pick up his mail. He was also a friend of my husband, Clark Brown, who is the Electronic Technician in the Department. This is absolutely the worst possible occurance in this crazy world. Who would have every thought this could happen in Blacksburg! We now know that it can happen anywhere. The CEE Department and the entire university will never quite be the same. It is going to be a long, slow process for everyone involved. I grieve for the loss of life, the ones they left behind, and the loss of innocence. Life in Blacksburg was changed forever on April 16, 2007. Thank you for your beautiful story, and I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Please give my love to your parents and sister.
