I
received word today that a childhood friend and
neighbor, Kevin Clark, was able to exit the World
Trade Center and survived. This is amazing and
relieving news, as we had not heard of his
condition for what seemed a very long
time. This
wonderful news is balanced by the fact that his
younger brother, Greg Clark, last reported on the
105th floor, has not yet been accounted
for. Kevin
is my age and Greg is my younger brother's age. We
lived a block away from each other and attended
grammar and high schools together. I've not seen
them for many years, but my brother has stayed in
touch with Greg. As
of this writing, I'm not sure the full impact has
hit me. Like everyone, this has been an emotional
and trying week. Like you, I'm exhausted.
Drained. Moments
ago, I recalled to Patricia that another childhood
friend, Tommy Ammerman, whom I worked with at a day
camp as teenagers, was killed on Pan Am 103 over
Lockerbie. Tommy lived a block the other
direction. As
I write this, I realize that I've probably lost two
fragments of my life to terrorism. I'm
not sure I know what to do with that
thought. Be
safe. Jeffrey
It is with joy that I can announce
...
Love thy neighbor.
God bless all of us.
