Thanks Steve. Boy the new Freedom Tower is coming along nicely. Still tough not seeing the WTC Twin Towers in that shot.

A little family history too. My grandpa Bridges died when my dad was about 5 years old in 1936. Sometime later grandma got married again to a man that I would always know as grandpa. His name was Anthony Zicardi. He was born in a U.S. citizen in 1904, first generation Sicilian-American as my great grandparents came through Ellis Island. I miss my grandparents terribly. Perhaps someday I will go to the Island and see some of my family history.

Hey Steve if you are driving through you won't be so far from me either. Perhaps we can hook up even if only for a meal and a talk.

Thanks for this wonderful post.


P.S. I have an Army buddy somewhere in Queens that I haven't talked to in years. He worked for the Port Authority and was in the south building during the attack. Took a lot of trying nd fearful tears to find out he made it out alright.
