Congratulations to all those who executed the "tunnel to towers" climb last weekend, nearly 2000 stairs (the winner, in much better health than I am, apparently did it in just sixteen minutes). Participants included a local (to southern Florida) woman who did so in honor of her brother, a fire captain who died during the events of 9.11.
Adding to the goodness around the day ... funds were raised to build "smart" homes for disabled vets during this first ever charity event in the new building.
[The blue angels also did a fly-by ... which made for a nice picture found on the google but undoubtedly gave cause for pause to a lot of New Yorkers ...]
Here's to the memory of all those who perished on that day ... and to the survivors who rally around those memories for a great cause.
