Not only was it a sad day for Dominican families, but it as a sad day for many. It was a sad day for me. a native of Brooklyn. It was a very sad day for my son, who lost 9 of his close high school buddies who worked for Canter-Fitzgerald in the towers and never made it home. My brother-in -law works for the FAA and was on his way to the towers for a meeting with the Port Authority, and luckily he and his brother were delayed in their offices at JFK. It was a day that we will never forget.
