When the first news broke we told our employees about it. Everyone gathered around the TV as the story unfolded, then the phones started ringing as friends and customers called in to ask if we had heard about it. We released the employees to go home but no one left. As many as were lost I am still suprised there weren't more, considering the number of people that worked in and around those two buildings. Today (9/11/2002) we organized a remember our heros day and had a nice crowd, raising over $1,000.00 for the Fort Scott rural fire district.
