I must admit, I've not come across much in the way of bios on 9/11 victims. Items like this are a constant reminder that these were everyday people.

Thanks, love.

It's so important to have a look behind impersonal numbers of victims. Thank you!

Cheers keda, thanks for posting that.

Have you seen the recent documentary Falling Man? It includes the story of one or two other people killed that day.

How sweet of you to do that. I hate he didn't have a bio like the others.

I'm raising my glass to the guys!

Thanks for being so sweet Keda.

Keda, You're so kind and thoughtful to post this additional post--remembering the two guys who were working together. Thanks!

BTW, in the American mining camps, they use to call those from Cornwall Cousin Jacks. Would I be risking my neck to call you Cousin Jackie (or Cousin Keda)? Have a great day.

thanks sweets for this post. I heard about the MOntreal shootings today, and it turns out that my old farm friend's child goes to that school. He's okay. But it is so shite that this is the state of this world today.

I'm sad today. This is my country, my peeps.

Did I tell you that Nick Hornby was speaking this eveing for The Big Issue and I missed it? Too sad. Just too sad.

Have you read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood yet?

Glad you caught him, Keda. I read the account in your Eric piece and I was overwhelmed by this man's bravery and selflessness just as I was with Eric's. Thanks!

yes sweetie horrible news. i'm sorry.

i have read oryx and crake. brilliant! but that was depressing. though it was a couple of years ago now that i read it so i can't remember too much.
maybe that needs a revisit.

as for falling man.. no i haven't seen that. and i'm not sure i could bear too to be honest.

and as for being called cousin jackie... not if you treasure your life. cousin keda i may allow

Oh my, I just spent the last forty minutes reading the accounts from the victims families and survivors. I was instantly taken back to that day. You did a very nice job on the tributes. Thank you.
