I AM A LIFE LONG NEW YORKER. MY WIFE, MY SON, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE ALL IMMEDIATELY AFFECTED BY THE TRAGEDY AND ALL I COULD WAS WATCH THE EVENTS UNFOLD AND WONDER WHETHER OR NOT I HAD JUST WINESSED THE PASSING OF SOMEONE DEAR TO ME.
AFTER A VERY LONG DAY OF UNCERTAINTY I WAS RELIEVED AND THANKFUL TO LEARN THAT THE TRAGEDY HAD NOT TAKEN ANY OF MY LOVED ONES BUT AS THE DAYS PASS I REALIZE THE ENORMITY OF WHAT HAD OCCURRED AND THE PROFOUND EFFECT THE EVENTS CONTINUE TO HAVE UPON EVERYONE.
IN THE MONTH FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER 11TH I WORKED TO CONCLUDE MY ASSIGNMENTS IN JAMAICA AND HURRIED HOME. I HAVE NOW DECIDED THAT MY CAREER IS SECONDARY TO MY LIFE. I HAVE GIVEN UP INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRAVEL SO THAT I CAN BE WHERE I BELONG - NEW YORK,
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, WEST INDIES
