On 9-11-2001, I lived in Denville NJ. I had left office as Denville’s mayor just 20 months earlier. Our county lost 64 residents that day and we could see the smoke burning for weeks and weeks from the hill behind Birch Run. We could also see it from “The Hill”, a cluster of County buildings and the location, today, of the Morris County NJ 9-11 memorial.
I sent a Letter to the Editor ten days later. In memory of those who perished, toward understanding of where we are today, I share it below. We will never forget.
