hi friends,
someone just pointed out something interesting to me... about 10 years
ago, i became too sick from chronic lyme disease, and had to leave my
wall street career... about 6 months after i left, my team of 5 people
got bought out by a company on the 95th floor of the World Trade Center,
and they moved in with them... durring the terrorist bombng of 1993, my
friends had to walk down 95 flights of stairs in the smokey darkness...
but they survivied... and all 5 eventually moved on to other jobs...
as i mentioned earlier, i lost touch with those old buddies, and don't
even know if that company was still in the WTC... but if i didn't get
sick, i almost certainly would've been working somewhere in the
financial district... and it is quite likely that i could've been
working in the World Trade Center...
"maybe good luck, maybe bad luck... time will tell..." (see reposted
story from Mystress below)
warmly,
percyval
