September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. my real family not my birth family all checked in with messages of love and concern. My two sister-in-laws, their new mates, and their kids, my native american friends, and Mike and Roger, and my AA buddies, the son of my Buffalo friend who I have know growing up from a fourteen year old. So I am rich in love even when I have a kneejerk reaction wishing it was the birth family. And among my local people, there will be people who need us to be wih them as they get the bad news. I am ok but I wake up very early and I can't sleep again because my mind start running. A son of my Indian friend Ronnie, was on a construction job nearby. They are ironworkers. He told her he and the workers volunteered to help the rescue the day of the fire. The first day they were asked to evacuate, but now the ironworkers are part of the teams helping to clear the debris to try to find people. The hospital is still in readiness, still without customers. Atlantic Avenue is still cordoned off for emergency traffic, but it is empty of traffic except city buses, not even parked cars. People are dropping off gifts of food to the cops that man the intersection. The cop presence is enormous. Never saw so many cops or cop vehicles in my life. They must have emptied the precincts of every one. Those who might be in plainclothes are in some sort of uniform, and where they ran out of cars, they are out on bicycles. I think Atlatntic Avenue may be cordoned off because it is an Arab shopping street. Besides being a very upscale Yuppie neighborhood, this is also the Arab neighborhood of Brooklyn, There were cops outside the synagogues yesterday. My real estate friend, went to check on a building of his behind a department store, and he was told by a cop that they have been told there may be random car bombings. That's all we need to drive the frenzy. We can't start doing racial profiling and isolate any Arab from the streets, or run because an arab has parked a car at a meter. Arabs are a lot of the store owners and workers around here, newsstands, grocery stores, food take out places. People are still milling, out on the streets, eating with friends instead of going home, but it closes early, probably out of emotional exhaustion. At least that's how I came home and conked out. A lot of the normality is starting today, schools, libraries, museums, etc reopening. I went last night to a synagogue service on my block. I sort of new instinctively they would likely be doing a special service. During the prayer for the sick which is traditional, people called out the names of people they were worried about, and everyone which is unusual said the mourner's prayer. we read out loud responsively prayers for just peace, and for the country, these are standard prayers out of the prayer book but they had stronger meaning. The service ended with singing first the star spangled banner, then america the beautiful (all three verses) which are both in the prayer book and then the israeli natl anthem. I was glad the cops in front of the synagogue, who were not likely to be jewish heard a loud singing of america's anthems. Yesterday's news said Guiliani ordered 6000 body bags, this morning they say the order is up to 11,000, But the news gets it wrong a lot. Last night we heard another three buildings had collapsed, this morning I read they are compromised but not down. So the surrealness is a city doing more or less normal life, and then the entire bottom of Manhattan, about a three mile stretch, totally closed off. My friends Mike and Roger live more orless on the boundary, they said no stores were open, they took a subway to the village to eat and buy groceries. My bank, and headquarters, are in buildings on wall street, and a block from the WTC, I cant get thru to find out my checking acct status. the ATM machine in a brooklyn branch is out of service. I did get cash the day of the planes, but I want to make a deposit to cover some checks which may or not get processed. I have a $3000 no bounce credit line on the account so it is not drop dead necessary, but I may try to get uptown and make a deposit at an uptown branch. But I'll call first to see if the system is working anywheres. You will hear this on the TV but families are going to the crisis center to try to locate families. and the radio station interviews the individuals a lot of "hoping for the best, fearing the worst" the fire dept has a good handle on who they have missing and its 300+ I am going to go out and get the papers, because they are sold out quickly. tuesday was Nathan's birthday, the day of the attack. I have some of the newspapers for Karen and Dennis to put aside for him for when he is older. They are both news people by profession.
