THanks for posting it Donna!

This is all so awful. I just feel so heartsick as war seems to
loom larger. Of all the nations in the world, we
of all countries have the intelligence forces and
military power to identify, hunt down and nail
the guilty while sparing the innocent. Why does
Bush feel he has to destroy as many people as
possible? How can he stand in a CHURCH and
advocate that? Maybe I missed something--but I
thought Christianity had to do with something
other than mass murder. I went to one peace rally
today and there's another on Monday--meanwhile
I"m trying to organize a group of people to
protect Muslims and Arabs by providing escorts
and surrounding mosques during religious
services. There is no shortage of volunteers.

I think I'll feel less worn down and overwhelmed if
I focus on the heroism and wonderfulness of
people like those incredibly noble firefighters &
rescue workers--it brings tears to my eyes just
to contemplate their courage and selflessness.
Also to remember that there are just a few sick
fucks perpetrating violence in our communities,
while I have pages and pages of names of
volunteers to help protect people. Good may not
always triumph but it's always there and always powerful.

How are you holding up? Have you talked with
Suzanne? I still haven't been able to get thru to
her. Please let her know that I called and called
and I was so worried about her. I'm glad it
finally occurred to me (duh!) to write and ask
you. Do you know anything more about how she was
able to get out of there? God, it's just all so AWFUL!

The only good thing at all is that Laura Ryan
sent me an adorable picture of her baby
(attached), and I found out my friends just got
matched with their new (adoptive) baby girl. Life
goes on and it's good to catch hold of the
goodness in the midst of all this awfulness.

Take care of yourself. Thank your Dad from me and
all of us for the great service he's doing for the country.

I will indeed email this to others.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, from Windows On the World you
could see into the heart and soul of New York.

Subject: Is Stan Ok?

Hi Donna,

Unfortunately no. I had hope last night when I heard that a woman received a
phone call from her "trapped husband and 9 others" 2 floors below Tower 1 -
which I now learned was a hoax. That woman should be taken outside and
beaten. Nuff said.

I am trying to be hopeful, but with bad weather early this morning and
lightning (we got crazy lightning on LI) it is difficult to be optimistic.

I'll keep ya posted. I sent your website to many and they thought it was a
wonderful tribute - by the way - the port authority website is done.

Love,
Stacey
