9-11 a peak at the past

[RBHarter]

9/11.
I have a diary that belonged to an old woman of a simple middle class birth. She married well later on.
Why would an old woman's diary be of any interest to anyone? Well it is a glimpse of who she was a peak into her life . No there is no racey love interest pages. But I found her blase' entry on 9/11/01 interesting because she was a Pan American flight attendant starting in 1939 or so . To be such she had to be an RN. Her home base in 1941 was Honolulu and her apartment was in Pearl City. On the morning of December 7th she was burst in on by a ship mate saying to the effect there's really no time to dress.....with that she grabbed a tea towel wrapped it around her waist and set up a triage in her living room. For those that slipped through the cracks the US was formally dragged into WWII quite literally in her front yard. This was written from her home on California Ave San Francisco Ca.

Watched TV on and off all day.  A Nation in mourning determined to prevent other terrorist acts in the future.  Osama bin Laden WILL BE punished !!

I end there due to the great increase in personal day to day stuff.
I hope Aunt Ginny will forgive me sharing this but it was interesting to read her own words as it happened. She passed in 2006 and only saw the war dragging on .
