EDITORIAL

After 19 years we all remember exactly where we were at 9 a.m. on September 11th, 2001.  Where were you?

On the following Saturday after the tragedy,  a few of us put up a table by the Chapel and neighbors came over to write remembrances.  I remembered returning to the candy store to get more oaktag a number of times.  We put the posters in the island stores.  I do not remember what happened to the posters.  I do remember those we lost from the island from the city and the posters with photos all over our city.

Today we mourn over 23,742 souls in our city a number so mind boggling that I cannot comprehend a memorial for ten times the number of people who perished on 9/11.
