Yesterday marked the 13th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center, an attack that destroyed both towers, killed nearly 3,000 innocent people, decimated New York City’s first responders, and in many ways changed the world forever. The date September 11 will always conjure up, for those who lived through it, horrible memories — of the sights, the fears, the concerns for loved ones, and above all the concern and sorrow felt for those nearly 3,000 who we did not even know.
This blog article is an inadequate place to try to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on that day, so I will not even try. Rather I would like to celebrate the too brief existence of two buildings – two buildings which hold a significant place in my life.
