I was alone because there was a meeting at our downtown office that everyone had to attend except support staff. I first heard it on the radio, so I ran to our conference room and turned on the big television. Security in our building said that the building is locked down and they would check on me periodically, because they knew I was alone. My friends in the courthouse kept me on a phone line because they had no access to a television. I was telling them in sequence what was happening. It was the most horrible day that I can remember. We were all crying.
