Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 3:25 PM Let me know if you are okay, what is happening there? Nina Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 7:16 PM Hi sweetie, I'm fine. Unbelieveable day. I actually was very very close, arriving at the Chambers St. subway stop at 9:10 am to be only about 8 blocks north of the bldgs. I saw the damaged bldgs, and could barely look. I watched the smoke and flames as I walked terrified north a few blocks to where I had a meeting. At one point, I actually saw a body flying through the air from one of the bldgs. Then I walked all the way home to 111 st with my friend and colleague. 3-4 hours feeling like a refugee looking back at the place where the bldgs once stood. now only smoke. I'm exhausted, just watching TV for hours. The kids are fine. I wasn't sure where Anton was for a few hours since he was trying to make his way to school. Everyone's fine. This is just unbelievable. NY is eerie. We went out and ate in a cafe. Just terrible. Thanks for writing, I miss you, Andrea. Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 10:43 AM Dear Ange, I wish I was with you. How are your kids? Did you get through to Isa? How is Anton coping? Zak? Gerry? Wally? I am home. I tried calling but couldn't get through. Love, neen Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 11:02 AM We're fine. It's just unbelievable. Everyone is fine. For many hours on tues I didn't know where Anton was (his school is close to Houston) but finally heard from him. Of course, it didn't occur to him that I'd be worried. I'm at work now -- across the street from Empire state which I'm not crazy about. But we're ll trying to deal with it. Things will be so different in this city. It's screwing up everything and will do so for a very long time. Much as I hate to say it, Giuliani has done a magnificent job of reassuring NYers and taking charge. (Unlike our great Pres who only managed to quote the scriptures...) But the subways down there will need to be rebuilt, not to mention everything above ground. They actually have to try to find thousands of bodies. It's unbelievable. So aside from the shock I'm ok. It's so very sad and just beginning to sink in. The four of us went out to dinner and we talked a lot to the kids. Isa is wanting to be understanding even of the terrorists -- I think kind of overcompensating because some friends sound like young macho boys -- so it's complicated. I had to reassure her that it is appropriate to be angry and even hate those who did this as long as one isn't extending it to all people of Islamic faith or of a certain nationality. Isa was also very upset the first day and a friend was saying that we who grew up in the 60s had our young lives filled with the trauma of assasinations and a war. Our kids havn't had that which makes this even harder. No prep for anything like this happeining here. Anyway, I should get back to work.
