off:thank-you

[Mark Von Bargen]

The support is important; we give as we receive.

It is only now beginning to sink in what has really happened. The shock and
disbelief took up most of Tuesday and Wednesday. My wife's best friend had
been working over in New York and it was a couple of days before anybody
heard from her. She was lucky; two hours later and she would have been
right there at the World Trade Centre.

Only yesterday it struck me about the time I have spent in America and
especially New York and most especially Manhattan. I just wonder about all
those people that I met and who befriended me and helped during my time
over there. It was a few years ago but the memories never fade.

My sympathy and best wishes go to everybody touched by this, especially
those most directly involved. I just wish that I was somewhere where I
could do more than this.
