Guess it was fate that you retired earlier and were not in the path of terror.
None of us will ever forget that day, for sure.

Many of our cousins in Bergen County N.J.'s townspeople were among those in the towers........as a lot of N.J. communities are "bedroom communities" for those who worked in N.Y.C., commuting home each evening.

Unfortunately, some never came back.
