I had just spent the summer in Colorado working with my Uncle. And just returned the evening before on a long 21 hour bus ride home to start college that week. I remember getting up and hearing my dad watching the news, saying that a plane had crashed into the pentagon. A friend of ours who had been my scoutmaster was working in that building. I too remember thinking it was an accident, and how confused I was when the story turned to another plane hitting in NYC. (were plains just suddenly out of control? I though...thinking, I had just been on a public transportation system only a few hours before)I can't remember how long it took me to understand that it was purposeful. Its odd how the mind sometimes suggests something and how we resist it as unbelievable, but with a dread that discloses we know its true.<br /><br />Memories in the days of our lives...John Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002567479724221203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787131990396798748.post-77675337273653749132011-09-13T14:56:24.160-04:002011-09-13T14:56:24.160-04:00Haha Jess, I think Mr. Vitany was there, although ...Haha Jess, I think Mr. Vitany was there, although as always he was slightly absent. But I do remember Brian, myself and a couple others pleading our case for why we should go to.... It was the basketball teacher's class?.. History or Social Studies.. I never had him so I don't remember his name.<br />You're right though, it is weird to think about so many people that don't remember so weren't influenced by it.<br />Did you have Mr. Johnson's AP History class with us?.. Remember him that week after? lolKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991116408907161409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787131990396798748.post-25027523674378123732011-09-13T09:21:51.843-04:002011-09-13T09:21:51.843-04:00Hey Krista - I remember this really, really well. ...Hey Krista - I remember this really, really well. I remember being late to English class because of a yearbook meeting (I had a note so I wasn't really tardy :)), and when I walked in, two or three people (one was Brian T.) were gathered around the radio. Everyone else was just talking and laughing. I had no clue what was going on, but the people around the radio were grim-faced and trying to get everyone else to... well, shut up. So I was just trying to help them get the others to shut up (I'd love to remember just where Mr. Vitany was during all of this - probably not even in the room!). When Mr. Vitany finally was present, I remember we all trooped down to another classroom to watch it on TV, which I kind of think was a mistake because for young minds, I think something like that should be watched in the presence of a reasonable adult (whose classroom was it? I cannot remember any longer). I just remember leaving the classroom because I felt like I was going to hurl and finding my muma in the cafeteria and hugging her. It's weird to think youngsters today really have no recollection of this because either a. they were born after the fact or b. they were so little when it happened that they just don't know about it.
