Life Changing Event

  September 11, 2001  
     
 

Many American adults remember exactly where they were and what they were doing on September 11, 2001. I was in Ft. Collins, Co. preparing to teach the first day of a three day XML for Non-Programmers class at Hewlett-Packard. While getting dressed in my hotel room, I saw the smoke billowing from the first World Trade Center tower. Having lived in New York City for ten years, I assumed that a small plane had wandered off course and accidentally smashed into the tower. I sat down on my bed and waited for an explanation from the live CNN news coverage.

When I saw the second plane crash into the second tower, I sat speechless and horrified because I knew something unspeakable had just occurred. The events that followed changed my life and my career.

The post 911 events, including the decline of high-tech Silicon Valley businesses and the closing of many corporate universities led me to an unexpected semi-retirement in Palm Springs, CA.

The extra time provided freedom to write a 600 plus page book, published by Labyrinth in March, 2005.
