I would like you to share it with the families and friends of the victims by whatever means possible. If appropriate, I would like you to share it with the school at large. I'm in the process of adding the voices of several students from Christopher Newport University and the keyboards of a VT alumnus to this song. I believe it will greatly enhance it. But it will take some time, and I wanted you and the victims' families and friends to have an opportunity to hear "The Children of April" as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.
