Note to all ( from Zlatko):

A memo from the President of the college where my wife works:

from : Alice Bertoff, President
to: all staff

All staff will observe 30 seconds of silence at 8:42 exactly on the morning of September 11th in honor of the victims of the terrorist attack in 2001.

Now here this. All staff members will place their right hands above their heart and hum softly a patriotic tune in honor of the victims of 9/11. Each staff member will also wear a tiny red white and blue flag pin on their lapel, unless he or she is wearing a silk blouse in which case the pin may be held casually in the left hand. Staff members will shed a tear approximately ten seconds into the moment of silence. Tissues will be made available by all supervising managers and a designated staff members will be responsible for distributing them if necessary.

God Bless America,
The Prez

Thank you, N.

And the moment of silence is a beautiful gesture.

I will join in.

It was such a tragedy.









(e-dog, you really are a funny guy and this time is no acception... but I bet to some your reply might come off as disrespectful to the victims and their families. I know you don't intend it that way but I've been called an empath and I just felt somebody else's emotional response to your humor.. :))
