Remembering the Virginia Tech victims.

I think it is important for us to know about the people who lost their lives on that horrible day. It drives me mad that some people think it is acceptable to make the killer immortal by posting his media packet. What we should be focused on is the victims, their families, and their friends, not the killer. The New York Times has published a article doing just that and I wanted to make you all aware of this article.

"Brian Bluhm, 25, was a graduate student in civil engineering at Virginia Tech who was working toward a master’s degree in water resources. He considered Blacksburg, Va., his hometown, but he was really from all over. He was born in Iowa and went to high school in Louisville, Ky. He spent his childhood in Detroit, where he became a rabid Tigers fan.

His next stop, friends say, was Maryland.

Mr. Bluhm was set to finish his courses and defend his master’s thesis early this summer, and he had already accepted a job in Baltimore and found an apartment there, said his best friend, Michael Marshall, 25, of Richmond. He said Mr. Bluhm had planned to start his new job in July."

Brian was an avid member of a Detroit Tigers forum and I posted a tribute to him yesterday on my own weblog

I checked your blog out and read what you wrote. It is so hard to see people's lives snatched away like this. I am praying for the families and the friends of the these victims, that through this awful tragedy, we will see some good things come of it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Here is the link to the sports forum that was mentioned above. Someone wrote about Brian on the forum and I thought I'd share that link here.
