<p>Chocoholic, his parents live near where we lived in Pittsburgh. We know a number of kids who went to Taylor Allderdice. The father is a prof at CMU. We also know a number of freshmen at Kenyon. What a tragedy is right. It hurts me and scares me. What can we possibly say to our kids to make them listen a little bit?</p>

<p>Kenyon has been usually quiet the past few days. It's very very sad here right now. Kenyon is the type of place where even if you don't know someone yourself, you know many of the same people, and a tragedy like this affects everyone deeply.</p>

<p>There is more information on the Kenyon website, and there is also a thread on the Kenyon page where I give more detail about Kenyon's reactions if you're interested.</p>
