[HPFGU-OTChatter] London's 7/7

[Molli Hall]

To all of the British Members:

   Please know that everyone in the US is praying and worrying right along 
with you.  This is a tragic event, and we know all to well what it can do to 
National Morale.  I personally had friends that were traveling in London, 
and we were on pins and needles until they were able to get an email out to 
us telling us that they were fine but to pray for the families of those that 
were not.

>Piccadilly Line train between Kings Cross and Russell Square. This

>There are eerie reminders of New York's trials on 11th September,
>especially in the appearance of photos and pleas for help on walls
>and bus stops near the blast sites. I am also vividly reminded of the
>traumatic days when we had a young family growing up during the

>By one of the quirks of coincidence, ex-Mayor Giuliani was in London

>Ken Livingstone has spoken at least twice with words from close to
>the heart.

>We were personally greatly relieved in that our younger son, who is a
>computer consultant and is based near Liverpool Street, was on a job
>which took him out of London on Thursday.

>Again, as a UK group member, my own thanks to those who have offered
>messages of comfort.
