Relaxing before class, had to wake my wife up to tell her… she was recovering from flying the same patterns the night before. She was at the time flying east to west coast on those same flights 3-4 times a month, only home for a week out of the month… After 9/11 she has only flown 2, and that was last year to NY…

In order to avoid flying she had to restructure the entire training department at the company she worked for. She turned it into the only profitable part of the company for the six months that followed 9/11. the company had 0 sales after 9/11 because of the way it affect their industry. When she left the company she was the director of the training department.

I remember the morning for a lot of reasons… My cousin was working out of the towers and left the office early that day for an appt in Jersey, appointment was cancelled, and if he didn’t go golfing instead of returning to work… nuf said

I still remember walking across campus to my health class, I think it was like my 3rd class of the day, and one of my buddies came up and told me that a small plane had hit a building in NY and that all the teachers were watching it in the teachers lounge. We got to health class and flipped on the tv and watched it for like 10 minutes and saw the second plane hit live. Then as class was ending they hit the pentagon. The whole rest of that day we would just move from class to class and watch the coverage all day. It was probably the quietest day ever on campus in high school.

I woke up and was all excited to pick up my Supra, in Wash. DC. Turned on the TV while getting dressed, couldnt believe it. I remember my stomach sinking. Needless to say, I never went to pick the car up that day… I think I got it 2 days later when the DMV opened.

7th grade gym class, running the mile. They kept us at school, and refused to tell us that anything was wrong. Found out what happened when I got home around 2:30.
