We had lived in New Jersey and had a view of The Twin Towers. I was at work and had planned to retire in about a year or two. My husband had retired in July and had been in that building every day for 30 years. My husband called me at work and said that he wanted me to retire immediately. I had 31 years and could get my pension. The first attack, my husband had taken the ferry over instead of the train. When he got there, the garage of The World Trade center had been bombed. When I got home, we dicussed it and decided for me to retire earlier than what we had planned. I was only 51 years old. We closed on our home in The Villages on October 10. When we drove away, I can still remember the buildings were still smoking. I will never forget!!!
