“I was at Tonganoxie Junior High, now the THS west campus, where I was teaching 9th grade English at the time. As my second hour students entered the room, several of them had news of a terrible event that had just occurred in New York. I asked whether anyone knew any of the details, and Levi Huseman told me that two planes crashed into the Twin Towers within minutes of each other. It was then that I realized this was no accident and something very serious was happening in our country.”

“I was asleep when my phone started ringing. My family wanted to know if we made it home from Brazil. We had been traveling, and were late getting back.”

“I don't fully remember it. I was in Mrs. Baska's second grade class, and I remember being pulled out of school and hearing it on the radio in the car, but my mom claims I was in school all day.”
