I am hoping to see my nephew who is in the Virginia Tech H.T.

Here's a snip from an email I received just now from fam member who lives in northern Virginia:

'Well, the parade has finally started. [My nephew] was getting on the bus at Tech at 4:30 A.M., leaving by 5:30 so they should have been at the Pentagon where they were to board other buses by 11:00 or earlier. The parade was to start at 2:00 and now it's after 3:30. The Virginia Tech Hightie-Tighties are the last band in the parade, just after VMI, as far as [nephew] knew last night (via e-mail). At that time he thought they would be marching by the viewing stand about 4 P.M., so it will be much later than that. He said he will be on the right side of the band--look for the tall guy playing a saxophone, if you watch it.

'Our snow is almost melted. But it's been cold for those who've been out at the parade since early this morning. [My bro-in-law's dad] was taking lunches to some Boy Scouts--with security so tight we wonder how/when he got them delivered--am not sure who made the lunches. C. said she thought he was going by Metro and would return home before the parade.'

Thanks again FRiends,
E.C.
