    Let's go Hokies!! I am a graduate of VT and have suffered so since this happened because once a Hokie always a Hokie. We possess a pride in our alma mater that cannot be taken away by the actions of a mad man. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost a loved one in this senseless massacre God be with you all. Jim Vurnakes
