Went into the office last week and it seemed that everybody on the street near ground zero was real quiet and pensive. In some ways this almost reminded me of the time we spent at the Pearl Harbour Memorial. Let me say that the pictures & videos we see on TV just does not capture the "devastation" to the Twin Towers. Many had their cameras & camcorders. They have since tried to block people from viewing Ground Zero with screens and a city bus (intersection Broadway & Maiden Lane) so that there will be less congestion.
Have some good news as I found a friend with whom I used to work with many moons ago. Was both anxious and apprehensive while making this call as I kept getting transferred around. Was really glad to hear his voice. He worked for a firm that was on the 93 floor at 1 WTC. Lucky for him he had switched jobs about 2.5 months ago. He is now back with the company helping them in their time of need.
