911DA Story: Story

I was driving to work in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and did not
have the radio on in my car. When I arrived ar work, one
of my fellow associates who was sitting on a bench outside
the store said "Have you heard?" I said "No, what are you
talking about?" She said you better sit down and proceeded
to tell me what was happening. The entire store was inside
the Radio Grill watching the events unfolding on television.
It was a very sad day for all of us. There was a depression
that settled over the store for several days.
I feel for all those who lost loved ones. There was so much
grief. Some wounds take years to heal and some never heal.
