FROM OUR READERS

By SD Times News Team

September 18, 2006 — (Page 1 of 2)
Ya'll sure did take a liking to Alan Zeichick's 9/11 column. The vast majority of responses were quite complimentary and very thoughtful. Here, then, is a sampling of these letters.

Thanks for your thoughtful and insightful comments about September 11. This indeed is a day to remember what this day now means in the American lexicon as well as give thanks for all the good that surfaces when people help others, under all circumstances.

Best regards, Lori Piotrowski - Public Relations Manager, LANSA

I thought your commentary on the aftermath of 9/11 was well said. It reminded me of how that moment in time has infiltrated our lives. I mean, just the fact that I am reading about it in the SD Times newsletter shows how it affects everything. Your mention of Peter Goodrich---how you interviewed him one day and the next day, poof, he was gone---made me remember again the innocent individuals that were killed that day.

I have been purposely avoiding hearing, reading and thinking about 9/11 on this anniversary date, but your article sneaked in under my radar. I'm glad it did. I want to remember those people like Peter.

Take care, Elena Lawrence

I just wanted to thank you for remembering Peter in your column today. Not an anniversary goes by that we don't think of him too. He was such a spot of joy around here and with us for such a short time. I thought you would be happy to know that his family have done wonderful things with his legacy and have built a school for girls in Afghanistan. He'd have been so proud (and probably abashed) to be honored this way. We're hosting our annual Peter Goodrich golf tournament on the 20th of September, and proceeds go to the foundation (http://www.goodrichfoundation.org). Thanks again for keeping him in your heart.

Ellyn Winters-Robinson - Vice President, Marketing, MKS Inc.
