My husband, Larry, died in Jan. 2001. I have 3 great kids,two
wonderful grandchildren, and am very busy and happily retired.
I went on vacation to Washington, DC. We arrived on 9-10-01
and were on the Metro the following morning (9-11-01) to
Arlington Cemetery when the plane hit the Pentagon. Our story
afterwards was very memorable to my sister, my daughter and
myself. It will be one we remember, always. Our vacation was
not cut short because all planes, trains and automobiles were
basically grounded. Although we did not get to see much, as
immediately everything was closed. What we did see was
wonderful. A few "attractions" were opened eventually. The
people, presumably, because we were all in the same situation,
were wonderful, friendly, and at their best. Can't wait to go back
and see the WWII memorial, etc.
My brother and sister in law Jack and Jackie Mertes are prof's at
Pima College. Was disappointed in Tucson when I was there in
Aug, 2009. Sure hope that the city "fathers" start working on
improving the properties, public and private. I was sorry to see
the neglect.
