September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Dear Paul and Ali, Man proposes, God disposes. I'm so very sorry that we were not able to make our trip to England and accept your generous hospitality. What a difference a week makes! It is very hard around here right now. You have the little life inconveniences, such as phones that work on and off, both mobile and at home, and the Internet at my office is down now for the past week. The DSL phone line it ran on ran through the World Trade Center. TV only works if you have cable (which we do, but many limited income people do not), the broadcast antenna was on the top of the WTC. Many roads are still closed, and it's scary to see troops on some streets, although I know they're there for protection. It's the big things that matter, though. I don't know anyone who hasn't lost someone they knew at the WTC. My local firehouse lost 19 men. One of my father's best friend's son (also a fireman) was lost, he had just had a son 2 weeks ago. My newspaper this week has story after story of people in my community who were lost. One woman's memorial service was held on the same week as her wedding was planned to take place. But, thank God, no one in the immediate family was killed or injured. We count our blessings, you can be sure of that. You can still see "Ground Zero" smoking every day when I drive home. What's really frightening is that I just developed a roll of film yesterday of a day trip to the city Toni and I took just 2 weeks ago. It was a place in the city that she had never been to. It was the observation deck of the WTC. We got the pictures back today, of us standing in a place that's not there anymore. As to England, we got all our money back, which helps. The airlines couldn't charge us for tickets we couldn't use, and the folks in the UK who we had booked tours with (Paris, Stonehenge) were very understanding and gave us full refunds. Everyone has been great. I hope you and Ali enjoyed your holiday in Greece. I spoke to your Mom and Dad and asked them to forward my regrets to you two. I'm writing this at work but going to e-mail this from home, since as I explained, our Internet at work is down. But I hope to talk to you soon, one way or another. We're going to try for England again in the Spring, depending on what's happening in the world. I haven't given up yet! It's now become a quest, a way of proving those @#!*#$% can't control our lives. We're down, but not out. Take care, and again, thanks for your offer of hospitality. We hope to take you up on it again if the world doesn't get in the way. Best wishes to you both, Jack September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
