On 9/11, I was working for an insurance company. I'd just sat down and my desk at 8:00 (9:00 NY time) and took a phone call from an auto repair shop in Brooklyn, NY. While we were talking business, a bunch of yelling broke out in the background. The fellow I was talking with went to investigate and came back saying an airplane had hit one of the World Trade Center. I kind of got a blow by blow account as it happened.
Then, our daughter, Amy, was Multimedia Manager at a Border's book store in Pentagon City, 3 blocks from the Pentagon. After the airplane hit the Pentagon, I tried calling her store and got a blank. After a half hour, I got a busy signal. Then I finally got through and the operator told me the store was closed. Amy had ridden the Metro to work that morning, and the Metro was shut down. For want of something better to do, she'd simply walked home with a co-worker who lived within walking distance of the store.
Amy got through to me on her cell phone about noon. I was on a different call at the time, but the Claims Manager knew the situation and held Amy on his phone until I was free.
Kennedy was shot two days before I was discharged from the Marine Corps. After lunch that day, the Colonel called me into his office and gave a last ditch attempt to talk me out of leaving the Corps. While we were talking, the Sergeant Major stuck his head in the door and said Kennedy had just been shot.
