I was waiting for the elevator to go down to the lobby for breakfast, and saw a friend from ST. Louis who told me about the plane that hit the World Trade center. I thought that it was an accident, LIke the time that a B-25 hit the Empire state building. When I got
downstairs I heard the rest of the story. The trade show was dead, Everyone gathered in the lobby to watch a big screen TV. The next day there was a big linup at the hall to give blood and we closed the show.Most of the guys rented two vans and drove back to Rochester, NY since all flights were cancelled. I drove to Austin TX to visit my Son and go to my grandaughters BAT MITZVAH. I was the only out of town guest.All of the rest of the family had flights cancelled Bob Rosenberg. Rochester, NY
