Remembering Sarah 11 September 2001
Remembering Sarah 11.9.01. I was in Arizona heading for NYC to visit Sam on that bright and brutal Tuesday morning and arrived in the smoky, gritty city a few days later. On that first evening we looked at photos taken when Sam and Jodi hosted a party a week earlier and I admired the lovely English rose, Jodi's new friend Sarah, also a recent arrival in the city. Not long afterwards there was a knock on the door. It was Sarah's husband who came to tell them that his young bride had been there on that terrible morning-wrong place, wrong time - one of so many stories. I still think about her.

She's paddling on that celestial shore, closer than you think...
