Lost 12 close friends on Sept 11th and 4 others during my years on the job. I think thats enough. I got into this hobby right after Sept.11th. It kind of
helped me keep my mind off things. I am now officially retired. 24 years in the FDNY, wow that went fast. Spend my days getting kids off to school, working on
the house, cooking dinner, and of course reading, mostly history and going to as many museums as I can, and where I live there are plenty. O, one other thing,
I am a proud bleeding heart liberal, very proud.
