[Fredslist] How will the next generation remember 9/11?

[Odey Raviv]

As we know pictures and videos are worth a thousand words.  Welles' story as told on ESPN has such a powerful message.  Victoria's story on its impact on her college students is very poignant.  
The event at Citifield certainly seemed so special for the Crowther and Gotham family.  Congrats to the facilitators Amparo and Corey.
Respectfully

Their memories were intimate: mothers picked them up early from school, parents came home early from work, every one was quiet and watched the news. Some remembered their parents crying. More than one said: people were nice to each other.
