Remembering 9/11 From 17 Years Ago...

Hello everyone,

I had a busy day and didn't get a chance to post. This great city was impacted in a large way 17 years ago. Just about everyone I talk to at work had a story to share about that day and the events that happened right after the Twin Towers collapsed. So many lives were impacted. We spoke about people who helped loved ones recover body parts and clean up. I wish everyone a solemn day of remembrance...

Hugs,
Leslie M Jasper

The date on it was from 12 or so years ago! No one is coming back for it! I wonder how much money is in it?? After wrestling with the devil and angel, I dragged it into the shop.

I am sharing a short story from a fellow Local #3 IBEW sister! A story from me........In 1982, while I was an apprentice in LU #3, NYC electrical union, we were outside Grand Central Station eating lunch. A few of the guys were giving compliments to some of the women walking by. Nothing nasty, but hey, you are very pretty....things like that. So I told the guys that when I saw a man I thought worthy of my attention, I would say something. 10 minutes later I finally saw a man and I said, hey, I think you are nice looking and would love to talk to you. Well, this man turned around, walked ov...
