TGIF 9/17/2021 - Edition 15

Hard to believe that last Saturday marked 20 years of a horrific situation that I still vividly have in my mind. 20 years ago I still remember my wife calling me early in the morning on a business trip in Arizona on this horrific day. Was shocked as the day unfolded and a few day after, ended up driving back to Seattle with flights being grounded for several days.

A few years ago I was able to visit the memorial in NYC (picture in the newsletter) and cried ?? a few times envisioning what many people and families had to endure.

Life is short, enjoy and take advantage of every moment.
