Rich: When we were here there were no sidewalks across the drillfield. There were no lights out on the drillfield. It is a different place, but the heart and soul I think are still here.

Ren: Okay. Yeah.

Rich: That was a tough time.

Ren: Yeah, it was. It was really tough.
<br /><br />
Libby: And the students stood up to the world and said, "This is who we are, not who you think we are."
<br /><br />
Rich: Media tried and tried and tried to meet them and they didn't take it. I admire them for that.

Transcription

Certainly I was on the alumni board April 16th and that was very of course tough for everybody, but it was very unifying and gratifying to see how we all came together during that time.
<br /><br />
Very sorry that that's what we're coming to that something like that happens now quarterly it seems like.
<br /><br />
Cline: Can you tell me a little bit about what that was like about coming together in that way?
<br /><br />
Moga: Um, you know April 16th happened and we had a board meeting a couple of weeks later, so we were here, the television trucks hadn't all left. You know of course it was very sad, and you just can't imagine anything like that happening, but it certainly scars you to the fact that it can happen, and that it's not the event that defines you, it's how you respond to the event. And I'm just so proud of how the Hokie nation did respond.

I was so I was in school on September 11th here, and so I just remember feeling so proud of how Virginia Tech kind of rallied as a community and then saw it again as an alum after April 16th, where it really reiterated to me that we're not going to suffer in a part that the University is something bigger than that. I remember going to a picnic on September 12th because it was already scheduled and we prayed most of the time, you know. I don't ever remember feeling some of the prejudice that other schools I think were experiencing during that time period about Muslims. I remember reading articles about people targeting certain people, and I don't remember that here. So I remember feeling really really proud about how Virginia Tech as a community was kind of responding to these huge world issues that were impacting us.

Sharon and I became very involved on April 16th. The day that happened I heard it on the news and immediately went down on campus, and went over to the Inn. The Inn manager was somebody I knew and I said, "Write my name down. If anything comes up where you need something, call me." And quite frankly I didn't give it anymore thought. That was on a Monday, if you remember. On Tuesday night at 11:30, my phone rang here and they said, "Mr. Lowe, this is.." I forget the guy's name who was the manager at the Inn, he says, "We have a problem." And I said, "What's that?" And he said, "The parents of one of the victims have just gotten here," and he says, "The closest room we have for them is in Lexington. Could you help?" So I woke up Sharon and I said, "Sharon, we're going to have a house guest." So she got up, opened up the house. I said, "I'll be there in ten minutes." So I pulled on my clothes and went to the Inn.
<br /><br />
And Mike and Peggy Herbstritt, the parents of Jeremy, had just gotten here. They'd been in Boston for the Boston Marathon where their daughter had run. And Jeremy was supposed to go to Boston to run in the Boston Marathon, but because of academic reasons he decided to stay here. And they took me in and introduced me to Mike and Peggy. It's difficult to talk about, but we embraced, got in the car and came up here. Mike and I sat out there on the deck for, I don't know, three or four hours. He talked about how similar the topography is here to Penn State. He was on the faculty at Penn State. Not on the faculty; he worked in the facilities branch at Penn State. And Mike and I sat there and Sharon and Peggy sat in here.
<br /><br />
So they stayed with us for the next couple of days and I took them to the campus and kind of fathered, not fathered, wrong word, what did I do? I looked after them, because they were hugely vulnerable as any parent would be. Hugely vulnerable and the press was pretty insensitive at times. So I stayed with Mike and Peggy and tried to get a sense of what exposure they would be okay with and what they wouldn't, and protect them from the rest of it.
<br /><br />
Then they came back and stayed with us for graduation when the students were honored. And we've kept not a close relationship, but we certainly have an awareness of each other and we care about them. But we chose not to press that issue because they needed to decide how they wanted to maintain, what linkage they wanted to keep here. And I'm happy they were back recently, so that was an opportunity to serve, and I'm fortunate. Those kind of things you kind of feel golly, something was, why did I go down and say, "If you need anything call me." I don't know why that happened. I believe there are some things that kind of just, if there's a design or designer, sometimes when that happens.

It was cold, and the wind had been blowing for six days in a row. I walked to school that morning. It was a Monday, April 16, 2007, and I said, "I sure do hope that it gets better." And you know what happened next, it got worse. I was in my office. I had a class to prepare for, or maybe it was office hours or something like that. It was around 9 o'clock. One of my colleagues came in and said, "You know, look, there's some people running around out there in the courtyard between McBride and Holden with guns, automatic weapons and things. What's going on?" I said, "I don't know." Now, the previous week there had been two bomb threats called in. Maybe they were called in by you know who, who knows. So I looked, and I said, "Oh no, what's going on here?" I didn't know.
<br /><br />
And then I was sitting there just preparing for a class the next day I think, and two students from University Honors were out in the hall. I knew one of them, "Hey Sam, what's going on?" "We're in lockdown. The building has been locked down. We can't get out." "Well come on in, let me show you some interesting stuff." So, I showed him a few cute mathematical puzzles and interesting objects, and 150 yards away there was an unspeakable horror going on. Then eventually we looked out and we saw students running out the entrance of Norris Hall, and they jumped over the edge of the sidewalk there and ran down towards the Drillfield with their hands over their heads. What in the world is going on here? And it was some kind of a disturbance in the building, but I thought well it's over now. Hmgh. And then when they said that we could go home they lifted the lockdown and said, "But don't go towards the Drillfield. Don't go towards the Drillfield. Don't go towards Burruss Hall. Don't go towards that side of campus, just go the other way."
<br /><br />
Well, before I left I called my wife and I said, "I'm coming home." She said, "Something is going on over there, because I heard a siren. You don't hear sirens in Blacksburg, but then the sirens just kept coming and kept coming and kept coming and kept coming and wouldn't stop." And so I said I don't know what's going on. So she says, "I turned on CNN." The channel was on CNN. I thought it was going to turn over to WDBJ or one of the local stations, and CNN comes on and it says, 'shootings at Virginia Tech' at the top." And I said, "Any details?" She said, "No."
<br /><br />
"I'll be home. Call the children." I didn't say that then. I went home, and we sat there in just sort of mounting horror as the number of casualties. The deaths rose from 5 to 8 to 10 to 12, and they just kept going up and up and up and up and up and up. I was 150 yards from where it happened. What's going on? And gradually the details came out, and we had lunch and then I went upstairs to the little office that we have up there and after that the entire day was a blank. I blanked it out.
