Rachel,

We cannot thank you enough for your updates. Betsy had not updated us,
but this makes me realize that we need to appeal to professors to please
contact us with any information they may have.

I am so glad you are safe and hope that your family is as well. I will
certainly let the President and other appropriate people know about
Lauren's mother. What devasting news. I remember her well from the
bookstore.

Please continue to update us as you hear from people.

Lynn

Subject: First Decade Goucher alumnae in DC and NY



Hi Lynn,

I hope Dr. Betsy and Gretchen forwarded you my reports on
Goucher alumnae I've
heard from, but if not, here it is.

In New York:

Emily Schaeffer '00, works 15 blocks directly N of WTC and lives
in Brooklyn,
is safe.

Judith (Judy) Sagal '00, works at art gallery in NYC, lives in
Bklyn with
Emily, is safe.

Both girls witnessed the second plane (from the F-train into
work), and Emily
saw from her office window the towers collapsing.

Erin Barnes '00, according to Emily, is also safe.

All three are unharmed.

Sarah Pinsker '99 reports that the mother of Lauren Shapiro '94
(and asst
manager of Goucher Bookstore till 1997) worked in the WTC and is
missing.

In DC:

I'm safe. I was not scheduled to work at the Institute for
Defense Analyses
(IDA), which is a Federally Funded Research and Development
Center, aka a
government contractor/think tank/research center in Alexandria,
VA, 10
minutes' driving from the Pentagon. I take the Metro to the
Pentagon and then
IDA's shuttle over. Thank goodness, I was home in my condo,
which is in Foggy
Bottom and right behind the GW med school and Foggy Bottom Metro
station. I
heard the explosion from my (open) bedroom window.

Regan Maund '01 is safe, according to Dr. Betsy's list.

Emily Raskin '98 is safe. Her girlfriend/partner's school lost
a teacher and
some schoolchildren. Both Emily Raskin and girlfriend teach in
District
public schools.

Emily Christman '98, I have not heard from, but I assume she's
fine, as she
lives in Arlington and is a med student at Georgetown. She will
join the
Naval medical service upon graduation from med school.

Jodi Staub '96 and Francesca Jandasek '96 are safe. Both live
in
Adams-Morgan.

Sonia Peters '96 is safe.

Elsewhere:

Katherine (Kate) Kmiec '98 is safe. She is on a Naval base,
which is locked
down. I don't know which base, though. I do know that she may
join Navy JAG.

Rebecca Hill '98 is safe in Nashville, TN, but is looking for
Leigh Buchmann
'98 and Tor Christensen '97, who apparently live and work in
NYC.

Amanda C. (Mandy) Smith '00 is enlisted in the Army, but I don't
know of her
whereabouts beyond this or whether she was sent to the Reserves.
Just thought
you'd like to know we have an alumna in the active military.

Hope this helps.

Rachel Dubin '98
