Hi Jonathan.  Thank you for your concern.  It really means alot to me.  D&T
is not in WTC, but in WFC.  I had been working in WTC 2 for most of the
summer on a project for Morgan Stanley.  The 2nd plane had actually gone
through my Morgan Stanley office, which shook me up since I had just
finished the project early a few weeks before.  I had posted a little blurb
about some of the events I witnessed, but I haven't really felt like talking
about the horrific incidents that occurred at WTC.  If you want to take a
look, here's the link:

Once again, thank you for your concern, and I hope everyone is OK.

(...) Sid, its good to hear you & yours are ok. I have heard from just about everyone I knew of in the lego community from the New York City area. I havent heard from Christopher Dean though, I am pretty sure he was employed by Deloitte & Touche (...) (25 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ny)
