P.S. I just noticed that a person with same last name as me was in World Trade Center that morning. Not a real common name. Makes this even a bit more personal, if possible.
I share a name with a passenger on one of the planes that crashed into the towers. The passenger in question lived in the San Fernando Valley, as I did at the time, and departed from Boston, where I have family. I can't tell you how many phone calls I received that day from friends who were fearful it was me who had been on that plane. It was a very strange feeling to know so many people thought I was dead, particularly when combined with all the other emotions I was already feeling that day.
