18 years ago

[Jaret Rapp]

I remember exactly where I was.  Woke up, turned on my computer in the morning and saw the news.   I was working for Budget Rent A Car at the time at Miami International Airport and all air traffic nationwide had been grounded.  I worked the adternoon shift.   We were all in a state of shock and it was surreal knowing we were at an airport location and the airport was essentially closed, with no idea when it would reopen.   We allowed people to start driving their cars back to their destination and the company quickly announced there would be no drop fees or extra charges. Thank goodness nothing like that has happened since, and hopefully wont ever happen again.    Now if the nation could only get its gun violence issue under control. Even more amazing is this list is still alive.  As is my 91 SE-R. Jaret -----Original Message-----

I saw Chris' email pretty much as soon as it came in, and told my wife 
about it. That's one of her strongest memories of the day. I have to say 
it affected me quite a bit too.

Thanks for the reminder, Larry.
