  • Sure did. My pops worked in midtown Manhattan, I remember going to his office in April of 2001. His office had an automatic coffee machine that would also make hot chocolate, I thought that was the coolest thing. He took a long lunch with me so he could take me on a trip downtown. We ended up going to the World Trade Center and visiting the observation deck at One World Trade. That added a real crazy dimension to September 11th for me, I had just been there not even five months ago. My father was able to get on one of the last trains out of the city before they were shut down that day. He talked about how scary and confusing it was, watching fighter jets streaking across the sky above 5th avenue, not knowing what else was going to happen. Still, he was one of the lucky ones.
