There is nothing like a national tragedy to wipe out the previous news stories ANNA NICOLE WHO, BRITTANY WHO AND (ducks head), DELTA ZETA WHO?
I do fear for the parents - they will never have a full nights rest. They will be bothered in public, people will come to their home and I am sure the press will sit on their lawn for a month. I only heard one thing about them, they own or work in a dry cleaner and they made no statement to the press. Is this all we know? (stayed away from TV due to illness this week but hubby turned on TV at night)
I received word from one of our NPC delegates to wear orange and maroon Friday in memory of those who have been lost, those who are wounded and all the families effected by this horrible tragedy. Since we did not have a chapter at VT, we are amongst the lucky.
