where i grew up. but the reality is that this whole nation means so much to us, and we don t really think about it or reale it until something happens like that travesty on 9/11. i was on my way for aittle physical checkup at walter reed army hospital in washington. i just walked out the door of the apartment building. i live in watergate south. and the door man h said there had been a plane flown into a building in new york. i said, well, that s a terrible thing. we didn know the enormity of it until we arrived at the hospital and i learned more about it and the second plane and it s sort of like other days that will be etched in our memory forever. this is certainly an imptant one. actually we were in beaver creek at our home up in colorado. and my husband had gone out to swim.
