Thanks from NYC



Colleagues,

It may not be archival, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank
everyone who has been in contact with me about the events of 9/11.  I was
finally permitted to return to work this past Monday, and am both relieved
and saddened to be back in lower Manhattan.  It is reassuring to slowly
slip back into a daily work routine, but the scene here is certainly
different than it used to be.  There will be many images I will remember
for some time, many distressing, some heartening, such as the construction
workers dismantling their work site to create makeshift stretchers out of
plywood sheets and 2x4s.  The area is getting back to some semblance of
"normality," though I suppose a small army (or at least large division) of
police, firefighters, construction workers, National Guard and the curious
will be here for some time.

In this area, one is used to seeing nothing but buildings at eye level,
unless you are next to one of the rivers.  Looking west from Broadway,
however, one can now see a large, disorienting patch of sky.  Much may have
been lost...but we're back in business!

Sorry if this is somewhat rambling; again, in sum, I just wanted to say
thank you for all of your kind sentiments.
