New York, USA

(September 2001)

  

I can't start this page, without first acknowledging and making some reference to the Attack on America,  11 September 2001.

 

In New Zealand, the Maori people here have a saying..."Kia Kaha"...it means stay strong or have strength..."Kia Kaha America!"

Fortunately, I am safe and sound in Connecticut today.  I never made it to the World Trade Center.  It is an awful, awful day for New York City.  I am watching the television and actually saw the second plane hit the second tower "live".  The phone lines are jammed, all airports, subways, tunnels and bridges are closed.   Very sad.

Love,
Piwi

From the postcard...."This magnificent structure, unique in all the world, houses two million square feet of office space. It's seventy three elevators serve 15,000 office workers and more than 30,000 visitors each day. Superb vistas are available from observation levels on the 86th and 102nd floor."

They wouldn't let him in any further than the carpark...said his qualifications weren't recognised over there :-(
