I was getting ready to go to the docotor and then to spend time with a friend working on some political stuff. Watching Bryan Gumble cook while standing in my living room sipping coffee. There was a Breaking News flash and the unimaginable unfolded before my eyes. Both towers of the World Tade Center assaulted by jet aircraft, blowing through the secod tower as though it were paper. I gathered myself, washed my breakfast dishes, dressed, packed a few items in my bag (photographs of mny children and grandchildren), emailed my children my love, and headed off to my friend's house and then to touch my New York daughter and fetch my grandson from his school. It was important to stop in an open church and pray. Thank you for this exhibit.
