September 11th

September 11, 2001. I was on the Utah PTA Road Trip. Musician, Kurt Bestor was with us as our special guest. As the terror began to unfold that morning, we made the decision to visit the three schools on the schedule that day. We found ourselves in the midst of scared children, worried parents, and concerned communities. Utah PTA was there to support - injecting safety, love and hope. Although we each wanted to be home with our own families, we were in the right place, at the right time, doing what the volunteers of Utah PTA do best...taking care of kids!
On this day of remembrance, I send a warm hug to my dear girlfriend and fellow Utah PTA board member, Margaret Wahlstrom, who lost her mother and sister in laws in the first plane that crashed into the Twin Towers. May we remember, we are one nation, under God. Prayers of comfort to ALL who lost loved ones this day.
