Description

I accompanied my father, who was suffering from lung disease, on a red eye flight from JFK to Portland, Oregon, landing very early morning September 11, 2001. After dropping my dad off at his friend's home in Sherwood, I went to my hotel and slept for a few hours. When I awoke and went down to breakfast, all the tvs were showing the same thing. Two planes crashed into the WTC in Manhattan. Everyone knows what happened next. I was stranded in Oregon for over a week when all planes were grounded. So I took a solo road trip from Portland to Mt St Helen's, then to the coast. This collage is a result of some of those photos, which I have not looked at since my father's death in January 2002.
