Censorship! Imagine, AC/DC to Zombies, songs listed as unsuitable for radio... .September 17, 2001 She was excited, but getting back to work today is really hard for all of us. There is smoke in the air still and there are helmeted and armed soldiers on the trains - all very strange and sad. I haven't heard from her yet. Talk to you soon.. We will never foget...
It was a bit disconcerting, but it actually
made us feel a little safer. I felt that if anything
went wrong, someone would be there that wouldn't
completely loose their cool. (other than us, of
course). It's a pretty quiet here on my first day of my new job. It's
the first full day back and everyone is very
subdued. There was a company-wide meeting this morning
to talk about counceling and what we are doing
to aid in the relief effort - mainly in the area of
getting materials to schools that will help teachers
and kids cope with, and explain what has happened. It
was really nice. As for actual work, not much is
getting done. I don't have a desk or phone yet - a space was
supposed to be set up on Tuesday - that sure didn't
happen. I should have a semi-permanent spot tomorrow. I love you and I'll give you a call in a bit.
This is a scene from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal looking across New York Harbor to Manhattan and the burning towers, shortly after the two planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers.- Photo by James Bernard Re This photo was taken by my son Jamie. He was with his sister who lives about a block from where this photo was taken. She was in the shopping mall under the towers on Monday buying a new outfit to wear to work for her first day at a new job that starts on Thursday at 14th Street. She did not go into the city on Tuesday but her husband did. He took the ferry across the harbor and got on the subway. The subway did make its normal stop in the massive transportation center under the towers but only to take on passengers because of a "smoke incident" was the announcement. When passengers boarded the news spread of the airplane that had hit the tower. When my daughter's husband came above ground and got to his office the full extend of the unfolding disaster became evident. Today he made his way home to Staten Island. My children and son in law are safe. But thousands upon thousand have perished. One day difference... but I won't think about that now. I will think about freedom. I will think about working to keep our society open and caring and extending that to our world neighbors. I will think about justice. I will think about fairness. One day difference... I can't think about that now. |
