    That beautiful Tuesday morning….

    There are some things you never forget….memorable events in your life….the birth of a child….the passing of loved ones….and what you were doing on the day historic events happened. September 11, 2001.  It was a beautiful morning…sunshine, blue skies.  I will never forget how blue the sky was that morning…..here at home and in New York.  I was driving to work when the radio DJ told everyone about a horrible accident that had just occurred in New York City….”turn on your televisions” he said…he has never told the radio audience to walk away from the radio and go to the television.  I was minutes away from work so when I arrived the first thing I did was…
