I sent out my email message to alums and concerned friends this morning. I've already gotten an overwhelming response, with many of them sending me copies of their emails to Shelby! Please, please, please if you are an alum or concerned friend (or former professor!) and are able and willing to put your name on an email, send your thoughts to Shelby at: Shelby.F.Thames@usm.edu
Remember: you are speaking for those who are still at USM and are SCARED to use email, telephones, or speak in public right now. This is NOT my USM!!
