Thank you for having me as part of this very special group. I worked at the World Trade Center for over twenty years, and went through the bombing in 1993 where I was grateful to be a survivor, one of thousands on that occasion. On 9/11, I had to watch on television all the way from San Francisco as friends and colleagues were caught up in the terror and horror in New York City. Alas, many of them , some very personally precious, did not make it out alive. I was a staff member of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and of the 84 employees our agency lost that day, I was acquaintances or friends with an astonishing number. I think of them nearly every day and am acutely aware of them every time I see photos of the Memorial or the new Number One WTC building, even though I now see those photos from 1,500 miles away in Florida. Though for many people the day and its meaning may have receded into the past, for many, many more it will never be forgotten.
