September 11, 2001

On September 11, 2001, I was on my way to Alaska.  I boarded a plane in Kansas City for my trip.  I was flying to Minneapolis and then on to Juneau.  Our family had just completed 8 years of ministry serving at Echo Ranch Bible Camp.  It was my job to go back up to Juneau and drive home the truck full of our belongings.

I got as far as Minneapolis.  We were changing planes.  They told us there would be a slight delay in our next flight.  As I walked down the hallway of the terminal, I remember looking into a bar to see what everyone was watching.  On the screen was a factory with two large smoke stacks.  I went in to find out more.  Over the next 4 hours I learned about what we all know now was the attack on the Twin Towers.  I spent 3 days in Minneapolis with some of Sal's relatives.  Then flew on to Juneau as planned and drove home.
