            <text>Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let y'all know that I'm OK.  I've gotten emails from some 
of you this morning and thought I should email everyone else at once.  So, 
here it is, and apologies to those of you who have already heard from me:

I'm OK.  I'm in DC, in my condo.  I opened my bedroom window for fresh air 
when I got up this morning, and also so I could hear stuff going on.  I can 
hear the occasional helicopter and siren outside.  Foggy Bottom, my 
neighborhood, is safe so far.  They have evacuated the White House, the State 
Department, Treasury, and of course the Hill.  People have been on the roof of 
my building and the building next door, looking outside.  I went up this 
morning, and could see the smoke from the Pentagon fire.  So far, my building 
has been pretty calm, and people in general have been as well.  Thank God I 
did not have to report to IDA today, as it was my day off.  I go to the 
Pentagon to catch the IDA shuttle every time I go to work.  As far as I know, 
the East Side was hit and not South Side, which faces South Parking and the 
bus bays.

I didn't know till I loggged in at about 9:30 that the WTC towers had been 
hit.  I had barely been dressed when my phone rang and my dad called.  When I 
put my CI on, I heard this really loud, awful grating noise outside, and 
looked up to see people standing on the neighboring building's roof.

I cannot get through to anyone on either the Maryland or DC relay.  Voice 
calls are still very rudimentary for me at this point in CI hearing.  Email is 
the best way to get in touch with me.  Please, New Yorkers, please write in 
and let me know you're OK.

GW is closed.  I had two classes tonight, but they're now cancelled. I have 
been glued to the TV all morning and now early afternoon.  To the Goucher 
folks, have they closed campus?  What's the situation like in Baltimore and 
Towson?

I love you all.  I will continue to stay in DC for the time being, but may 
return to Baltimore this evening, depending on what the situation is like and 
what traffic is like (Dad driving).  Will keep you all posted.

Please pray for us and for the people who died at the Pentagon, in NYC, and in 
Pittsburgh.

Love,
Rachel</text>
