OT: "May We Never Forget... September 11th ~ 12 years Ago"

[tedzan]

Many of us oldtimers in this hobby remember Gerry Glasser very well. Gerry was one of the finest gentleman in this hobby. Gerry
and I spent many hours talking BB cards. Especially, regarding 1930's - 1940's Diamond Stars, Goudey's, Play Ball's, etc. at the
Willow Grove and Ft Washington Shows.

Gerry recently passed away. Gerry lost his son Thomas when the Towers went down that clear Tuesday morning 12 years ago.

I cannot think of a more tragic experience that a human being can suffer in their life than losing a son or daughter.


That Tuesday morning my older daughter, Debbie, and her neighbor were watching the events unfold in New York on TV. When
the Towers started falling, Debbie's neighbor realized that she would never see her husband, and the father of her two children,
ever again.

May GOD BLESS the souls of all those who departed that day in New York City, in Washington, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

We must be ever vigilant....in order that such a tragedy never, never occurs again.
