Hi Julie, As a nine eleven survivor I would very much be interested in reading the stories that gathered. On the International Association of Facilitators listserv, I posted my survivor story early on 9.16, and by that morning upon wakening, I had over one hundred responses from around the world. I was very moved by the global humanity that presented itself. Best to you, Scott
