9/11: I turned on the TV just as the first tower fell. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had jury duty that day. I ripped myself away from the TV to check in at the court house. We were on the 5th floor. Confusion was everywhere...and this as far away as you can get except Hawaii.

After we all filtered into the courtroom for jury picking....an aide came in to the Judge. The Judge announced that there were 'Unknown Planes' in the skies heading toward Anchorage. We were evacuated. Scared the hell outta me. We were in one of the taller buildings of the city. Going down the stairs that day I kept thinking about all the people in NYC who had done the same....

We have fly in services for people who want to experiance the bush. These people were left in the wilderness without any form of communications. Around day 5 solo flights went out and dropped newspapers to those on the ground so they would know why they were not being picked up (Planes were grounded).

Never forget.
