Merry Christmas

              Christmas   It may be snow that remakes friendships, bringing us together in early evenings to share warmth and food and company. It may be the memory of an ancient season, caught between childhood and age. But the crunch of snow on the porch announces each welcome visitor, the cold insinuation of wind through the door precedes each ruddy, smiling face. It may be snow that remakes friendships, but it's love that turns the snow into this season. And we renew ourselves around the fire of memory each time the cold door opens on the warmth of eyes.                          David A. Sam The best of the season to each and all.   From Linda and David

Germanna's Homeland Security Summit
http://ping.fm/DIZIW

Shootings at Virginia Tech and in Caroline County

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the students, faculty, staff of Virginia Tech and to the family of the victim. Colleges should be places of enlightenment, free of fear. We must not develop a siege mentality and we cannot turn campuses into fortresses. They must remain places where members of our communities are able to come and go freely in order to benefit from all we have to offer.

Germanna has always been a safe place to learn and work. Nonetheless, the college continually takes steps to make our security tighter, smarter and better able to respond to any problem nimbly and effectively, and we will continue to do so. We will review the actions taken at Tech and learn from their responses.

We also send our deepest our concerns and care to the officer wounded in Caroline yesterday. Both incidents show that law enforcement personnel daily put themselves at risk to protect and serve all of us.
