statement regarding the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech:
"As parents of a college student in Virginia, Susan and I ache for the
heart-broken families and friends who have lost loved ones at Virginia Tech
due to this heinous, despicable mayhem. Our prayers are with them. Their
sons, daughters, brothers and sisters were learning and improving their
young lives on the vibrant, close knit and beautiful campus.
"All of America is in grief for the families whose lives and dreams
were shattered.
"As many of us know, Virginia Tech is not just a school, it is close
and caring community. The students, alumni, and loyal supporters will be
drawn together in mourning but also praying for the recovery of their
classmates who suffered terrible injuries but have survived.
"Susan and I will join them and the rest of Virginia as we pray for the
lives we've lost and for the recovery of the students who survived this
senseless, terrible tragedy."
