Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re[2]:RE: STOP THE PRESS!!
Rachel,
Am I ever GLAD to hear from you again. I guess we can assume that GOD was smiling at you yesterday & thank Him/Her for that. I'll also assume that one of the two of us knew someone in the WTC who is no longer with us. I've lost friends and colleagues in VietNam, accidents, Kobar Towers, etc..... But this is going to be one of the worst ones to handle. Damn, where did I put that old uniform!?
