John Voelcker's
letters are his own observations about life in NY following the
events of September 11th, 2001. Written without foreknowledge of
the times ahead, they provide a timeless insight into events that
many of us are destined to remember as mere TV images long after
the raw emotions of the day have faded into the past. The letters
are a glimpse into life in the shadow of 'ground zero', in the days
immediately following the WTC attack, and beyond the headlines.
I am privileged to have John’s permission to publish them
here.
