Hi Tim & Theresa and all,

We are all okay, except real shook up. I was attending a meeting at Germantown Hospital when we got the first news. I immediately started to drive home.

On the expressways I can't tell you how many police and other type vehicles went flying past, lights and sirens wailing. The were going to center city and the airport to step up security. It is such a horrible shock to see those videos of that airliner crashing into the World Trade
Center. Everyone here is fine.

Our company headquarters ordered all employees out of any American city at mid-day yesterday. They had each office call every employee and find out where they were, and tell them not to go into the city. That is really scary. We are now getting e-mails from our corporate security people giving us instructions on how to step up security and keep our people safe, in case this isn't over. Let's hope it
is. The telephone lines are screwed up bad in this area. I couldn't even use my cell phone most of the day, except for the radio portion, which worked fine.

Love,
Uncle Harry
