Re: VA Tech Shooting - Thoughts Go Out to 401/VT

Hello All...

First and foremost we need to keep the families of the victims of this horrible
act in our thoughts and prayers. They need us now more than ever.
Please keep this in mind.

I first heard of this, this morning while at work and tried to keep up with it
as i could thru out the day. Our lead teacher and her husband are both graduates of Tech along with her oldest daughter so they are very close
to all there. Her youngest daughter is in her second year there and ok.
One of our mentors has a daughter in her third year and is a engineering
student. She is fine also. Our team is like a large family and we try to keep up
with one another and help out when we can.

We have been next to 401 in the pits at VCU and routed for them in 2006
(they won VCU that year) and when we were off the field in 2007.
While we don't know each other very well...we do talk and such and their
mentors have given us many ideas for our team.

I hope things can get back to normal at Tech (as normal can be after something like this) and Tech will continue the be the excellent school it is.
One thing thats not mentioned here much is that they hold a FLL competition
at Tech each year and a couple of our team students have been to it.
Our lead teacher while a Tech grad and FRC team leader is also the team
leader for our local FLL team.

God bless the Hokies
