Cameron, I can't believe you were that close to us and we didn't know.  Dave and I spent Thanksgiving with Heather.  She lives in the East Village (E 12th St near University).  I cannot get the courage to visit the site, although I have seen the tribute at Grand Central Station.  There are hundreds of letters of people looking for the lost loved ones not to mention the pictures.  Such a disaster...Next time you're in NY give Heather a ring.  She would love to see you or any of the family.  Aunt Danya ----- Original Message ----- From: Cameron MacLean To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 10:00 PM Subject: Ground zero   Hi folks,   Am sitting in my hotel room in NYC, directly overlooking the pit that once was the world trade centre.   It's kind of eerie - looks like any other large construction project, except that there's not a single piece of construction equipment around.    The building right next to me (outside my window) was obviously damaged during the fallout, as it has scaffolding all the way up to the top (and I"m on the 34th floor of my hotel).  It's lit inside, and as I look into the windows, all I see are construction braces and concrete floors.      The area is oddly quiet, considering it's New York City, and the football stadium-type lights shining into the pit give the area an unnatural glow.    As I look northward through Manhattan, I realize that just over a year and a bit ago, I wouldn't have been able to see the Empire State Building as I now do.    this may sound a little corny, but if you have a moment, take a second and say a quick prayer for all of those who were lost that day.  Sure feels like their lost souls are still here.   ..Cameron
