September 11

Jetje,

Thanks for getting this topic back on course. Also thank you to those who shared their thoughts and memories on this subject.

Regardless of politics or religion, it was a terrible event and it was, and always will be, a day of great sadness.

Peace,

Neal

I remember I had the morning news on but was in another room. As I left for work, I switched off the tv. Right before I switched it off, I saw this plane hit a large building. My thought was 'What the heck are they doing with a movie on when the news is supposed to be on?'

I went on to work, and didn't have the radio on, but when I opened my e-mail, a lifetime friend of mine had sent me word. He would never lie to me, so I did not question him. I remember just being stunned.

I cannot remember anything else, but just this awful sense of unnatural quiet and being totally shocked and stunned.

The anger and deep grief hit later.
