Alumni and Friends React To Tragedy September 24, 2001 Just a quick note that I am OK. I was not in the financial district during the attack, but witnessed the fire and collapse from my office on 6th Avenue. New York is a different place these days. Every single store, light pole, bus stop and open wall displays thousands of pictures of missing people along with cards, flowers and candles. Even the lobby in my apt. building has pictures of missing people. The smell and smoke are constant reminders of the devastation. It’s everywhere you go. I was able to volunteer for Guy Carpenter (a division of Marsh McLennan) as my company lost 7 consultants working on that project in the WTC. I assisted with the set up of their new office in Midtown and witnessed not only that company’s mourning over the loss of employees, but the rebuilding of their business from scratch. This experience has changed me forever. Thanks for your concern. Nicole Cisler ’98 (E) New York, N.Y.
