From: Dyana Mason Subject: Hi everyone Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 10:47:53 -0400 Hi all, I know I've spoken with you all some over the last few days. I just wanted to let everyone know how things are going here in DC. On Tuesday, I arrived at work with folks in the elevator talking about a plane hitting the world trade center in New York. 20 minutes later, I turned on a TV here in the office and saw the Pentagon had been hit. Our office is only 3 blocks from the White House and 3 miles from the Pentagon. We were shortly ordered to go home and not use the metro (our subway). Sara and I had to walk 3-4 miles home, passing people standing confused outside their buildings, walking everywhere, gridlocked traffic, etc. Needless to say, I was very frightened so we got home, got into my car and headed out of town. Sara and I drove about 150 miles out of town to a beach town, Ocean City, where we stayed overnight. Our office was open yesterday, so we got back in after returning and tried to get back to our normal routines. I am still very jittery and jumpy and really dont' want to be here in DC. Every so often, you can hear the F-16 jets screeching overhead and there is a military vehicle on almost every corner. I saw a jet trail in the sky last night and my first thought was "there aren't supposed to be any planes!!!". I have refused to take the metro. My worries, my work, my concerns however seem to be completely irrelevant and insignificant due to what has happened. I talk to my volunteers about campaign work we're doing and I think "this is SO unimportant". I have a cousin, Scott Mason, who was only one block away from the WTC. He is safe, made it home after walking across Manhattan, and over to Brooklyn before he was able to catch a working train to get home on Long Island. I have two other friends who worked in the area. One IN the WTC who saw the second plane crash and people jumping from the building. Another said she had to "run for her life" down the streets as the buildings fell. My thoughts continue to return to the victims of these horrible acts. However, Sara and I are still packing, getting ready for our move this weekend. I have two plane trips scheduled during the rest of the month. We will have to see if those will be possible and/if I am physically able to get onto a plane. Luckily, it appears that the HRC family is safe and sound. We still have several staff stranded throughout the nation, and I hope they will get home safe and sound over the next day or two. One of our donors ($1200 level, which is called the Federal Club) was a pilot of the plane that hit the Pentagon. My thoughts return to all of you as well. Be safe, and I hope all of your family and friends are safe as well.
