Orange and Maroon
So I had an idea that came from an email from UMSL Student Affairs this afternoon. The email was to rally support for the community of Virginia Tech by showing their school colors, orange and maroon, tomorrow, April 20th around campus. Well, since I couldn't make the rally tomorrow night because I am working, I thought that I'd call Hope to see if we can wear those colors in the store. I questioned myself by asking if customers would recognize that those colors are the VT colors, but Hope suggested that she would talk to her boss to ask permission, and that in the meantime, she would run the idea by Wendy, so that perhaps at least we could wear ribbons with those colors. That would work well, since this tragedy would last a while, until people could come to a closure in their lives.It also helps my morale in coming up with this idea and helping to spread the message. I'm boycotting NBC for a while, for airing Cho's message of hatred. I feel that helping others is the best way to come to terms with my own loss of a relationship with Katrina. I mean, all I lost was a relationship, and we might even grow to be friends yet. In comparison to VT, that's pretty small beans to count. ((Hugs))
