9/11 Tribute

We will never forget where we were that fateful day.  Even though it's been 10 years, I still grieve for those who perished as if it were yesterday.  The stories are so sad, but inspirational and hopeful.  One man who lost his wife remarked on TV that when his children smile, the terrorists lose.  Life goes on, but we must remember those who lost their lives that day.

In the late 80's I taught an extremely bright, young man in my high school business class who was very interested in business and finance.  He was very motivated, inspiring to others, and his smile brightened the room.  That young man went to University of Virginia, and later became a bond trader at Cantor Fitzgerald.  His name was Douglas Ketcham and he lost his life that day in Tower 1.

God bless America!
