I was 6 years old in my first grade classroom when my teacher answered a call on the phone connected to the school office. I can still remember vividly her starting to cry, then telling us school was cancelled for the rest of the day (we were in California) and that we could go home and why. It was my dad’s birthday and my little mind wondered why it couldn’t have been another day. But for an adult at the time to not remember is unbelievable. As an adult when 9/11 happened I remember that whole morning.

My mom later recounted for me that she put me in bed after she fed me some lunch. I was only ten months old in November 1963.
While I can’t remember at 10 months old, I can certainly remember all the conversations my parents had recalling that horrific day for decades after...
