Re: Sandy Hook
Children being executed with hollow point rounds while hiding in a closet for protection can do that to you. The shooter wore body armor and was heavily armed to attack defenseless women and young children; he then shot himself when the first responders showed up. The biggest coward in history. I can only imagine the horror at the scene.
I told myself I would not cry on the way into work this morning. On Route 302 at the Bethel border someone put up a sign that says "Bethel is grieving with our Newtown neighbors" and I lost it again. On a positive note, the amount of help and the people that have descended on our town to help is amazing. You can hardly move. There are over 500 people working on the Sandy Hook Elementary School move over to Monroe, CT. Phenomenal. Restores some hope I have for our future.

Re: Sandy Hook
There are a lot of positives to be found in this unthinkable and horrific event. It is too bad it takes something like this to bring out all the good. But you are right, I am seeing an outpouring love, care, and comfort from the community for these people.
Don't feel bad about crying. We all are doing it. |

Re: Sandy Hook
Would be a nice gesture. Not sure yet what is needed...maybe things will become clearer in the Spring.

Re: Sandy Hook
I just went to my son's Christmas music program in his school. He's in first grade. At 9:30 AM we paused for a moment of silence. I could hear all of the church bells ringing, and as I looked at about 300 kindergartners to 4th graders there, I had a tough time keeping it together.
Count me in for anything if we can do something. |

Re: Sandy Hook
I'm in for anything. Maybe a Corvette ride through town?

Re: Sandy Hook
I would be happy to support a NE activity next spring. Any ideas are appreciated.

Re: Sandy Hook
What ever you guys think would be of service to the Newtown community, count me in on it. Keep me in the loop.
