On Tuesday morning September 11, 2001 I was driving my son to school when I heard on the car radio that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. When I got to work at the Des Moines County Historical Society in Burlington I turned on the office radio and listened to a local FM station until news came on. Then I heard that a second plane had flown into the other tower. I continued to listen to the radio through the morning. When I went home at noon I turned on the tv and watched, unbelieving as the scenes of the day were played over and over and the story continued to unfold.
