Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan

Thanks Rcprince, and all and especially John_l to whom I sent a private email. I am well and, like Rcprince, work for a Wall Street financial services firm, so I have been very busy. My office is in Jersey City directly across the Hudson River from the WTC, but our downtown headquarters building is across the street from the WTC and we have other offices in the low-rise buildings of the WTC complex. I was not in my office at the time of the attack, but commuting. As my commute takes me underneath and through the WTC on the way to work, I was about 10 minutes away from Ground Zero when the first plane hit. I am often in the WTC on the way to work, on the way home and at lunchtime. On any given day, the result could have been quite different for me personally. I am feeling very grateful to be alive, that all my immediate family is alive and that to this moment, I know personally of no one is dead.

Thanks to all,

Ray Hall

Russ, Ray & others, it's a relief to see you're here (but what of so many others...). Was away with no Net access when this happened.

How are U faring after witnessing this..? What's going on in NY now? "Getting over" a shock is easy to write about, difficult to do.

To Russ, Rayhall and all New Yorkers, my thoughts are surely with you all. In an event such as this one's perspective about everything is altered. I feel certain mine has forever and to those that actually lived through this, I just can't imagine. I pray for the survivors of this tragedy and may their faith, neighbors and friends help give them the strength to deal with their losses. I sure hope that something ultimately good comes out of the ashes of this horrific mess.

Sincerely, Will

Glad to see you made it rayhall.
