He had managed to leave me a message last night when I was out, getting some air and a change of scenery for a few minutes. On his trip to Oslo from the airport, he was hearing words, "World Trade Center", "Pentagon", "high-jackers". He was so absorbed trying to understand the Norwegian words, that he missed his exit. As he was groping his way to the hotel, he stopped and asked a police officer for directions. By a strange coincidence, he was at the American Embassy, and the officer told him what was happening. He wanted everyone to know that he is OK, over in Oslo and asked me to contact some of you. He has tried to call several people and has had trouble getting through to this area, as phone lines have been unavailable. He was able to reach his Dad in Durham, who helped to calm him down - he was angry and bewildered, of course. He has been keeping up with things, and meeting lots of other travelers, exchanging tidbits of info. He said that every Norwegian that he meets offers condolences. Allen's biggest problem has been that his hotel doesn't have CNN, as they are changing service and the new one, with CNN, is not hooked up yet. I encouraged him to enjoy his trip, that there is really nothing he can do about this, and that it will go on for a long time; he knows he can't come back anyway. People were being told that flights might not return until late next week. He doesn't plan to even try to get back earlier than his scheduled Sept. 20th date (I think). While we were talking, the hotel sent him a message that the PC in the lobby was available, so he wanted to get on the internet and see what he could learn. People were going to bars and restaurants to watch CNN. He knew details about the news that I did not, so he seems to be keeping up. His experience in air traffic control was kicking in and making him curious about the high-jackers process. So, this is just a note to let you all know that he is well, though frustrated, and probably will proceed on at least part of his planned tour. If you want to ask questions of me, call me. Best and sympathies, Pat Pat, Thank you so much for your e-mail. I looked for your number last night to see if Allen had check-in with you but was unable to locate the number. I imagine that Allen must be extremely frustrated; we all have each other through this and he is somewhat alone with strangers. I am glad to hear that the Norwegians are sending their condolences to him and us. It is a terrible time to try and site see and have fun. Again, I am so sorry for how extremely frustrated he must feel. Ashley September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
