Richard, Your incredibly compelling article recounting your meeting your daughter at Ground Zero brought back a flood of memories from that traumatic period. In the spirit of this weekend, your piece inspired me to dig out an article I wrote in 2004 that appeared in the Washington Post. It is titled "Was 9 / 11 Supposed to Be 9 / 18?" It is available here:
Thanks, Ken. I just clicked the link you sent. That was all new news to me. Thanks for sharing. Any who reads this, I recommend linking to Ken’s Wapo piece..
Oh Richard, what a beautiful email of your daughter Liz in action. Not surprising but so wonderful to read as I knew Liz as a small child. What a beautiful young woman she has grown into and a wonderful photo of the two of you. Thanks for sharing.
Stirring! Well said: "Pitching in, working, and doing something feels right. And it is a way of off-putting the sadness, fear, and anger…mostly anger."
