RE: Where were you when...a perspective from inside an American classroom as the tragic events of September 11, 2001 unfolded Part Two.(featuring @hanshotfirst as author)

I take this as a very high compliment. Thank you. I am especially relieved to read that you recognize I am not trying to exploit the day. I had a HUGE fear of coming across like that. Last year was my first class ever who had no memory of the event at all. It was nearly the same as teaching about Pearl Harbor. I try to get my students to "feel" history as much as possible. I guess I was hoping to do the same here. I'll check out your thank you post.

"First class ever that had no memory of the event" - Wow that just hit me like a ton of bricks. And now I feel old too. ;)

Again, keep up the good work.
