Hey neighbor! I am in Land O Lakes!


Funny you should bring up 9/11, Shell. A teacher at my school shared with me yesterday that one famous photo taken of a firefighter going up the stairs in Tower 1 is actually her cousin's husband. He got out in time, because he heeded the order to evacuate. His story is fascinating and at the same time very bittersweet.
