For months after 9/11, thankfully neither I nor my family could find anyone than we knew had been killed in that tragedy. Then one day I was visiting a site called classmates.com and found out that my best friend from high school, whom I had lost contact with, worked for Canter Fitzgerald, the bond trading company who lost most of its employees. Then I found out that he recently lived only a couple of miles away from me, which is on the other side of the state from where we went to school. He also did some of the same things after college that I had done. It was very bizarre and sad. We probably shopped at the same supermarket but never ran into each other. What a bummer.
