No matter where I go or who I meet, my most precious memories stem from my thirteen years living and working in Virginia's New River Valley that includes Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford in Montgomery County, and Floyd County, Virginia. It is a beautiful place, yes, but it is the people that make the area and the memories. Every fall, our quiet lives were made fuller by the influx of 30,000+ young people moving in to Virginia Tech and nearby Radford University. The loss of many of them this week causes a pain felt across time and geography. I have few words as there seem to be so many from others these days. I just wish for a gentle respectful show of sympathy and support free of accusation.

The substaining treasures of memories are the warmth and familiarity readily accessed by revisiting.
