September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful calls and prayers yesterday. I was glad to see that none of you were hurt in the horror of yesterday's events. While I find it difficult to deal with the things I saw just 20 blocks away from me with my own eyes I count myself as extraordinarily lucky. I am blessed with the fact that I was not in either building with an event or in a meeting. I am blessed that my friend Gail who works 200 yards away from the towers in the financial center is alive and unhurt. And I thank God, for transferring my special friend Matt out of firehouse in Brooklyn last Saturday (he was promoted in a strange timing twist of fate). His old crew from Brooklyn did not do as well. The group he would have been in charge of yesterday responded within 5 minutes of the first plane impact. 3 of the 4 crew were inside the building when it collapsed. The are presumed dead. The last, Tommy was blown back and suffered a concussion. As I am sure you have heard there are so many more firefighters who heroically rushed into the building are missing and or dead. Please pray for my fire fighting friend, pray for those who called them brothers and mostly pray for the families they left behind. It startles me to think of all the people that I knew in those two buildings. All the business that I have worked with through the years and the people I know that are still unaccounted for. I can only hope died quickly in such an awful event. Strange sights and an eerie silence is in the city. The rink I play hockey on is now a temporary morgue. How can life return to normalcy. The city seems numb and those who have been touched simply walk in a daze. To look at the skyline and no longer see the towers is to try and imagine looking west in Colorado and no longer seeing the mountains. It just doesn't make sense and it certainly doesn't feel real. So once again, I am unharmed but not untouched. I love you all for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for us all.
