Sad Day.

What a very sad day. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech.
An RA was killed. It makes me think about our years working for FSU, and about how much we loved our jobs in Residence Life. It seemed like so much work then, to learn the names of every resident, but maybe it made a difference for someone, looking back. I don't know any RA from our years on campus who wouldn't have done the same thing and gone to help.
This awful event also makes me very proud of Tim, who has spent so many years training so many people in triage nationwide and has dedicated himself the art of bringing order to mass casualty. Many people benefited yesterday from the training of the medical professionals in the area, and chaos like that requires a very special set of people to care for the wounded and injured.
We will continue to pray and we're keeping everyone in our prayers.
