It was around 9a.m. when one of the tool and die makers started telling everyone that the World Trade Center had been blown-up. I thought he was just pulling our leg, but when I listened to the radio I felt a chill just run right through me. That evening I called my dad and brother to see how they were fairing, especially my brother who works in Dallas, Texas. It seemed as though they were targeting big cities. I think I cried off and on for a couple of weeks and prayed for all those innocent victims. Even though I new no one there, I still felt as though I had lost someone very dear to me.
