Sept 11, 2001--I was awakened by my daughter from NYC, thinking she called to wish me happy birthday. She was screaming so that I did not know who it was. I asked five time who it was.
ReplyDelete1955--nine-years-old and horrified at the events.
1917--four years before my mother was born.
June 1969--finished three years of college, was married for three years, and had a baby. I was terrified.
It is hard to forget whether I was there or not.
In 1920, when women won the right to vote, only one woman, a glove maker, in the original fight was there to see the success of their venture.
9/11/2001. I was 22 and living in Fargo, waiting tables. I turned on the TV between the two airplanes hitting. At first I thought it was a big joke. So scary.
