[Air-l] Our VT colleagues

[Steve Jones]

Indeed AoIR members and air-l members have long had connections to  
Virginia Tech, and it should also be remembered that staff from  
Virginia Tech assisted with the 2005 AoIR conference in Chicago  
(those of you who attended may remember the people behind the  
registration desk responsible for name tags, receipts, etc.). The  
Blacksburg Electronic Village is also well known among CMC scholars.  
I am sure many of us are connected to VT and Blacksburg either  
directly or through but one degree of separation. Many of us who work  
in academic environments are also no doubt touched by the shooting at  
VT if only because we, and our students, are imagining something like  
it happening on our campuses, places that we feel, whether rightly or  
wrongly, almost invincibly safe. As is the case with so many  
tragedies (too many, it seems, particularly during the past couple or  
so years, and on a larger and larger scale, it seems) I have no words  
for the family and friends of those killed, only sympathy, and for  
all of us I wish peace.
