Where were you when you first learned of the attacks of September 11, 2001?
This is something everyone seems to think they remember. My memory goes like this. I was on the campus of the college I was attending at the time. A commuter student, I had arrived early and was sitting in a mostly empty lobby or lounge area, preparing for a 9 a.m. class. There were two young women sitting a little ways away, and one of them somehow learned and said something aloud about a plane having crashed into a building in New York. (American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m.)
