One of my nieces came out of the subway 3 blocks from the World Trade Center in New York, just in time to witness the first aircraft strike the tower. She has since left the city to rendezvous with family at a distant location. One of my Gannett coworkers was on the bridge by the Pentagon when the American Airlines jet passed them approximately 100 yards away and impacted the base of the Pentagon. His father, a member of the military personnel assigned there, is unhurt. My wife was evacuated from the government facility at which she works, out in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and is home safe and sound. USA TODAY and Gannett personnel have evacuated the facilities in Arlington, Virginia. USA TODAY editorial staff members are currently here at my location putting together tomorrow's edition. Our prayers are with the others not so fortunate. /Mitch Zeissler - -----Original Message----- From: limited-slip differential equations [mailto:bwdaly@hiwaay.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 12:03 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] new yorkers, washingtonians, etc. i hope all our new yorkers, washingtonians, etc are all okay. our prayers are with you. - --brad - -- brad daly bwdaly@hiwaay.net photographs: http://home.hiwaay.net/~bwdaly "The white man did not take his religion any more seriously than he did his laws, and he kept both of them behind him, like Helpers, to use when they might do him good in his dealings with strangers." --Plenty-Coup (Crow) "War, what is it good for?
