I wonder if any of us Midwesterners, Southerners or Hillbillies(such as myself)etc. could have handled 911 with the bravery, efficiency and class as did Northerners in New York. I was and am completely in awe of them and I think they're just great. The ones I met in TV seemed free of a lot of b.s.ing, under the guise of charm, found in the rest of us. Viva New York!
