Ten Years Ago Today...

I'd like to share a story...

Ten years ago, I was working at the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles as a staff writer. I woke up early and saw what was happening in NYC on TV ("The Today Show," I believe...) and so I called and woke up both of my editors at the Journal, Rob Eshman and Amy Klein, to notify them what was playing out.

The events of 9/11 happened on a Tuesday, which was the day before our paper went to press, so we had to overhaul the entire paper and cover art that day. My editors joked, "Why couldn't this have happened on a Monday?" (Gallows humor, of course...no one was happy that day).

Now it's 10 years later, and they're running the same cover of the bombed-out World Trade Centers on this week's Jewish Journal. Full circle.
