EDITORIAL

After 20 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 2,977 souls in our city a number so mind boggling that we lost in one morning.

In the last year a plague of Covid has surpassed those numbers and we cannot comprehend those numbers.
