Tragedy @ VT

[Dagger]

Being a local here all my life, I adopt all the local colleges because my friends went to all the local VA schools. Within the DC Star community, I don’t know if anyone was directly related to one of the victims or not. I sure hope not. I send my condolences to the families and friends of all the victims. It hits home when places I have incredible memories like VT suffers this monumental loss.

Ditto. I was listening to DC101 this morning and they mispronounced a name that sounded like Smaha... thought it might be someone related to Mike, but it turns out to be the sister of a friend of Kimmie's named Samaha.

Crazy people doing crazy things...

A bunch of Hokie friends are having a happy hour at Whitlow's on Friday, along with Maroon and Orange Effect Day. 6-8. I'll be there late.

Thanks for all the support for the VT Community. It's surreal at this point.

Wear maroon and orange if you can on Friday.
