Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work on the morning of September 11th when a co-worker of mine told me that a plane had just hit the World Trade Center. We turned on the T.V. and like so many Americans that day, watched in horror as the events unfolded changed our feelings from terror to anger and for me my thoughts of my children and how they will never again experience the freedom we had taken for granted. Because now it has changed forever. Our attentions then turned to several people in our department that had left Logan that morning on a flight to Las Vegas. We knew that there were several planes left in the air and we had no way of knowing if there plane was one that was highjacked. We frantically tried to contact the airlines for the families that were still in the air. A feeling of helplessness overwhelming all of us. Thanksfully, all of our collegues were safe. A year later, it still feels like we had just heard the news and I can only imagine what the families of the victims are going through on this day. As I browsed one of the many websites on this tragedy, I crossed one that showed photo's of the victims of Flight 11 that left from Logan airport. I was shocked to see the photo of Lisa (Fenn) Gordenstein from TJX. I first met Lisa when I worked at Hit or Miss where she was a Merchandise Director. I was unaware until this morning that she was on that flight. I knew her as Lisa Fenn and was not aware of her married name. Lisa has a heart of gold. She took me under her wings at Hit or Miss and guided me through my career. I left Hit or Miss to become a buyer in another company. I will never forget her generousity or contageous smile. I am forever grateful to her. You never know when and how you will touch someone's life. Be good to everyone, as we all have experienced first hand, hatred is no way to live life.
