Then began frantically trying to reach my daughter who was/is in college in NYC, south of midtown. Freaked out when I couldn't reach her by land line or cell phone. Finally got her by Instant Messenger that afternoon! I told her to stay in her dorm and stay off the streets for immediate purposes; didn't know if there would be more stuff, like maybe terrorists just opening up with Uzis on the streets. Asked her if she wanted to come home; she didn't. She watched people covered with dust and ash marching slowy out of lower Manhattan, past her dorm window. Her window faced the Towers; she saw people jumping off. She had nightmares for a long time. But she's OK now, thank God.
