From a memorial letter on the GPB Radio website:

It is with great sadness that GPB learned of the death of Pine Mountain native Christopher James "Jamie" Bishop in Monday's tragic shootings on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Jamie, who was 35, was the son of Michael and Jeri Bishop of Pine Mountain. Michael is writer-in-residence at LaGrange College and is a two-time guest on Cover to Cover, GPB's monthly radio book club.
