Time to remember
Shortly after the horrific events of 9-11-2001 in New York City, the library clerk
at HPHS, Yolanda Rubio made a poster and gathered signatures of support for
the victims. She hand-carried the poster to NYC in November 2001. Amazingly,
in April 2002, a S'65 grad of HPHS Phil Huyser, visited near the site of the tragedy
and found the poster!! The poster was made by art teacher Willy Nakamatsu.
What are the odds of that happening??? Small world.........
September 11, 2002 is soon approaching. On that day, please wear red,
white and blue to work or school to show your support for those who lost
their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes who worked to save them
and the families left behind. At noon your time on September 11, 2002, no
matter where you are or what you are doing, stop, put your hand on your
heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance out loud or to yourself and say a
prayer for our nation. If all of us do this together in every time zone
around the world, we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding
us. Please keep this going to your friends and family. By September 11,
2002 hopefully enough people will have read this and will join together in
unity. God Bless the U.S.A. (Contributed by Anne (Levring) McCreery '62)
