It sure does, Rose. I didn't know anything about 9/11 until around
noon. I teach in a Children's Mental Health Center and it wasn't
until lunch hour that another teacher's son trotted over from a
nearby high school to tell us what had happened. For weeks
afterwards the art therapist saw some horrific drawings in her
sessions with our children. A friend of mine, a psychologist at a
center for children with physical handicaps and life threatening
diseases, was in Florida on what was to be a day long World of
Dreams trip with some students. They were stranded for several
days, but she told me that the local community--doctors,
pharmacists, etc. were incredibly helpful.
