Alumni and Friends React To Tragedy September 21, 2001 I live and work six miles away from Washington DC’s Dulles International Airport. My job involves a lot of travel so I have taken-off and landed at Dulles countless times. It is an understatement to say that the attacks were a shock. We spent that entire day, like most Americans, glued to the TV in our staff lounge watching the devastation and waiting to hear what was going to happen next. I had many phone calls and emails from my Wisconsin friends making sure I was OK and asking if I was ready to move home yet. In this area we were all affected in some way. But traffic jams resulting in long commutes are nothing to complain about. Having to take a different road home does not even come close to those that have lost family, friends and loved ones.
