Thank you, jmacusa!
My youngest brother is a sous chef in NYC, has been for thirty years. In late November of 2000 he took a job with the New York State Dept. Of Human Service and in a partnership with the NY Dept of Education for Special needs Adults and a sponsorship with The Port Authority of NY/NJ teaching a class at The New York School of Culinary Arts teaching developmentally challenged adults the basics of food preparation, sanitary cleaning of utensils, preparing salads, preparing a large banquet hall serving tables, etc. My kid bother is an engaging, funny, patient and a good teacher. His students just loved him . Upon completion of their training a lot of his students were given jobs in The Sky Box Cafe in The South Tower and Windows On The World Restaurant in The North Tower. The woman who ran the program wanted Pat to come work for her managing both of the Towers two restaurants. My brother thanked her but he had a better offer to work in one of those swanky uptown NYC restaurants where a streak dinner runs you about $200. On 9/11 almost all of my brothers students and the woman manager were all killed. That really affected my brother. Even after all these years he tells me ‘’At night, they come to me in my dreams. I see their faces They’re calling to to me and there’s nothing I can do for them’’. I have a hatred for Islam that sometimes even scares me. I hate this 7th. barbarism like nothing I have ever hated.
