Fellow Classmates:

Included below are a couple of e-mails I received informing me of individual experiences on and after September 11, 2001. I thought you all would be interested in reading them. For the sake of brevity I have "edited" the e-mail headers and messages to me, however I have NOT altered the message.

Dear Jon,

We are "on the road again", so won't be able to send a digital picture until November, when we get back to home base.

This year will be a little less traveling than last year. We are in Cherokee, TX right now working with a Children's home. We'll be here until April 14. We then head towards Cloudcroft, NM and will work at a Christian Youth Camp there (in Weed, with a population of 20). After a week there we head to Las Vegas, NM to work at a church camp there for 3 weeks, and then head to Hamilton, Montana to visit some friends, and work with the Church there, the first part of June. We will leave there in time to get to Red River, NM for the 19th to help with the Red River Family Encampment, a church family retreat until the 26th of June.

THEN, we will head to Pearland and spend July in Texas with our grandkids doing the water world, Astroworld things, and then head to the Northeast. We will be working with a church camp in Macutchinville, Iowa for a week, then a children's Home in Dahlgren, Ill for 3 weeks . . . THEN, personal fun time with friends and family in Michigan, NY, and NJ . . . Until the end of Sept., when we head to Marshall, TX to decide where we want to volunteer to go for 2003.

I won't have a chance to look at the web page - unless we find a phone line we can connect our laptop to at one of our stops.

You are doing a super job on that page, and I really appreciate it. Have any of our "lost" classmates been found?

Thanks again for all your work, Brenda (Fairservice) Blair

Thank you. Actually, this is a powerful letter and it is making the rounds as it is the 3rd copy that I received (which is ok). I am so encouraged by the strength and resolve of the people around me. I am confidant in our government (I thank God every day that a few dimpled chads did not produce a different outcome). I believe that the enemy has underestimated we the American people and our leaders. It may take time, but we will overcome this insidious evil. America and the world will be a better place for it.

Jermey Glick, the strong you man who lead the overthrow of the hijackers on Flight 93, was a good highschoool friend of my son Jeffrey. His family and especially his wife Lyz, also a high school friend, have shown unbelievable strength in dealing with their loss.

You and our other classmates probably remember the air raid drills from grade school when we had to crouch under our desks. For many years we worried about the threat of a nuclear war. We have more recently worried about everything from global warming to meteor strikes, to mad cow disease and a myriad of other potential threats that were so sensationalized. Strange thing - None of those ever happened. It is the thing that probably none of us ever seriously worried about that did occur. Guess, that is how life is.

Please share my greetings and good wishes to all our classmates.

God Bless America!

Sandra

Hi Jon:

I don't disagree with your messages or e-mails or being Politically correct or anything else.

You've done such a great job with our web site and keeping us all informed and I really see no damn reason for ANYONE to be offended. Think we should get Bob Hurley and Vince involved.

Our son Brad, was working at Tower # 1 on 9/11 on the 85th floor.........plane hit the 87th and 88th floor.........I am so thankful that he survived. Took him almost an hour and a half to get down 85 flights. Got to the 30th floor and met firemen coming up....Brad made it out of the building with less than a MINUTE to spare before the tower collapsed. I didn't find out until 5:30 that night that he was OK.... so you can understand my inpatience (and a certain amount of pissed off-ness) with my fellow classmates who don't want to know, don't want to deal and /or don't want to accept this act of war for what it is.

I told Brad that his father continues to watch over each of us and I am so certain that Wes played guardian angel and helped Brad get out....... Don't fuss about a couple of people and don't take it personally. I think you've done a terrific job on all counts...

My best to Lois....take care...

Sue
