And I say this having lost 2 high school classmates that day, as well as having had my son in the air when all flights were grounded.
I was scheduled to be near the WTC that day. Was your son rerouted to Gander? I have heard such wonderful stories of the generosity & warmth of New Foundlanders in our hour of need.
