LC Story LC Story: Story Where were you on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news? (Please share your experience of learning of the events and what you did afterwards.) I was in my fourth grade classroom, I am a teacher in Queens. My son was a paramedic with NY hospital- we can see the NY skyline from our school, and saw everything. I knew my son would be there. I prayed for his safety and all of the uniformed people, I knew they were going in, as others were going out. My husband called him on his cell, and said be careful, we love you. That was the last time we spoke to him Both he and his partner were lost. Thankfully, they were recovered about 6 months later. He was our only child. His name is Keith Fairben, his partner was Mario Santoro. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? waiting for news about my son, the F-14 fighters all night long flying over the house , we live in western Nassau county. The sense of unreality of it all. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally?
