At the time I e-mailed you yesterday I knew nothing of the horror that was
unfolding in the US. I got Ronda back to my place at 08.30am your time and
she was asleep before the first explosion at 08.58. I was in a meeting all
afternoon and the first I knew about  it was on my car radio at 12 noon
your time/5pm here.

I had said that I would let Ronda sleep off her jetlag until dinnertime,
but I felt I had to waken her when I got home. You can imagine how shocked
she was and there were several phone calls from her to her family ( in fact
we couldn't even get a transatlantic phone line until 5pm/10pm ). Her mom
was so happy and relieved that Ronda had gotten away from the country
before all air traffic ceased.

Ronda asks me to tell you and Christine that she is well, but obviously
shaken. She and my girlfriend and myself just sat last night in silence and
watched all the news channels until the wee small hours.

May I take this opportunity on behalf of all my academic colleagues to
express to you all our revulsion and our heartfelt sympathies for the
collective trauma that you must all be experiencing at this time. We in
Northern Ireland have known our own sorrows but not on the scale you have
just endured.

We are thinking about all of you

MIKE
