Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 Dear Friends, Yesterday night we had an Interfaith candle light vigil for the two Bryant alumni, Shawn Nassaney and Lynn Goodchild who were on flight 11 from Boston and lost their lives when it was forced to crash into the World Trade Center. Lynn was a student of mine. Before the vigil, I was for some time looking at her printed name on the official grade roster and saw the grade I had given her. The vigil started at 8pm and took place around the pond here and was very beautiful. There was a large crowd and the sea of Bryant community was everywhere. One professor sang peace songs. Another professor spoke about Islam and how it does not condone such actions as those which took place. It was a beautiful speech calling for understanding. A minister and a priest and a rabbi spoke words of comfort and healing for all of us and we sang more songs. After the vigil was over, I saw Lynn's mom. She is a beautiful person. We hugged. I said I was very sorry for her loss. I took out the crumpled roster of some years ago from my pocket and said that Lynn was a good student. Lynn's mom put on her glasses and in the faint light was able to make out Lynn's name and she smiled. You can see Shawn and Lynn on the following Bryant url with their bright and glowing smiles. http://www.bryant.edu/NEWS/remember.htm Peace and Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
