Lessons from Tucson: Part I

We are saddened by the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords. We wish to express our heartfelt condolences to the families of the other victims: Judge John Roll, Dorwan Stoddard, Dorothy Murray, Phyllis Schenk, Gabe Zimmerman and 9 year old Christina Green.  Our prayers and faith are with Representative Giffords and the others injured.  We hope that they all recover.
