I am originally from Saugus, Mass. I lived on Vicnent Street in Saugus unitl I was 13. I now reside in Christiansburg, Va which is next door to Blacksburg, Va, home of Va Tech.

My oldest daughter is a graduate of Tech and my son-in-law is a graduate of Va Tech from the Engineering Dept.

I was so saddened by the event that unfolded here this week. I was very surprised to hear that one of the sudents killed inthe massacre was from my home town of Saugus.

Ross Abdaliah Almedddine, who was just 20 years old lost his life in this terrible incident. I wanted to express my depest sympathy to his mothere Lynette Alameddine.

You will be in my prayers and thoughts.
