Notes from high places

[resqgeek]

As I mentioned yesterday, the response to our tragedy has been overwhelming. Perhaps the most stunning example (to us anyway), was the envelope that arrived last week from Richmond, VA. The return address indicated that it had come from "The Office of the Governor". I expected it to include a note typed by a secretary and most likely signed by auto-pen. Imagine how stunned I was to open the envelope to find a handwritten note from Bob McDonnell, the current Governor of Virginia. That he was moved to take time from his busy schedule to pen a personal note to us was deeply touching, and is a powerful indicator of how widespread the impact of our loss is being felt.
