Just a tough story and think of how many Merediths we lost that day. I still have an email in my in box from the morning of 9-11 where one of my consults posted "If you are going downtown be careful there is smoke coming out of Trade Center Building and the station is a disaster"

She went right underneath on the way to wall street. We had a few employees lost that day that I did not know. My Sales Ops persons whole italian family were fire fighters and she hung out at the station all the time. She lost over a dozen friends and family that morning and had a real tough go of it.

The world can be cruel.
