It was a bright and sunny morning in Miami beach that day. I was attending a national conference on behalf of local government. All was going quite nicely until the time a hotel staff member asked individuals from New York City to return to their rooms and call home.

Apparently a there had been a plane crash into one of the trade center towers. After the chatter subsided another person returned to the microphone and said that a plane had crashed into the Pentagon. From that time forward nothing was the same. We stayed that night and returned to Louisville by car The next day. Have not seen the inside of an airplane Since that fateful day. Our prayers remain with those who lost  colleagues,loved ones and friends.
