Here's another voice from Manhattan, this one being my cousin. The rush of relief I felt upon receiving this was unreal -- I had no idea where her office was relative to what has become Ground Zero. I still don't -- but at least I know where she is. Z! Reinhardt RPT Ann Arbor MI diskladame@provide.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachel C.

I just wanted to let y'all know that yes, I am fine, and thanks for your concerns. Luckily my apartment is situated well uptown. I have yet to leave the apartment - I am glued to the television, where I've been watching coverage since the beginning and I have seen things in real-time. I do not know anyone who worked at the WTC, though I had one scare (a false alarm, Melissa). However, I am positive that friends of mine will be effected by this tragedy and I dread finding out over the next several days. Tomorrow I will be donating blood and hopefully volunteering at a hospital where my friend's mom works. I feel somewhat powerless beyond doing these things. Downtown remains a mess. Anyway, I - and everyone I know - is alive. But you never know... I am deeply saddened and frightened. I'm still in shock that these events are actually REAL. (Seeing the images on TV is a strange sensation - in-your-face images yet almost movie-like, almost distant. But the horror is very real) I pray NONE of you know anyone injured or killed. If you do, please let me know. Love, Rachel _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
