Sadness, some relief...

[Jennifer Piersol]

I spent about a half hour writing a post to the group yesterday that 
doesn't seem to have made it.  Brief recap: two friends of mine 
hadn't checked in with me, yet, and one of them was an airman (woman) 
working at the Pentagon.

Well, I had some good news this morning.  My friend from Boston told 
me she was mentally shaken, but physically okay.  Turns out she had 
just flown back from L.A., and was just shocked yesterday.  My friend 
in D.C. finally got in touch with me at 8am, and she was physically 
okay, too.  However, her shock is a little more severe - she had 
colleages working in the affected part of the Pentagon.  I can't 
imagine how much more shaken by yesterday's events she is than I.

I hope that anyone with family or friends that haven't "checked in" 
yet gets as much relief as I did this morning... Though my circle has 
survived (relatively) intact, thousands of others won't, and my 
thoughts and sympathies are with them.
