David,

As I sit here from my home in Louisiana, watching CNN, they are talking
about and showing pictures of your building, One Liberty Plaza.  They are
extremely concerned that it's going to collapse.  After reading your email
last night about your great grandmothers siddur being locked in your desk, I
can only hope that if the building collapses, the rescue workers and anyone
else that is there cleaning up the ruble will not throw away any furniture
until it's been gone through in case anything is salvageable.  My prayers
are with you and everyone else directly affected by this horrible tragedy.
