A Person From My Little Town In Wisconsin Was In NYC On 9-11 And In London

[Dinger]

yesterday when the attacks hit. He is a friend of mine and a good Dem. Folks, he will be around, you will be hearing from him. He has political aspirations, he is young, his family has a history of helping the underprivelaged, and other needy people in the community. They are all strong liberal activists, are well-off, and I just can't say enough about them. I am from Eland, Wisconsin, and I am very proud to call Clay and his family my friends. I think he might run for U.S. Senator some day.

1. Wow! Glad he's safe

A guy from my area was in the Bali night club when it was bombed. He was severly burned and is still recovering from it. Glad you friend is okay.

3. Glad to hear he is safe, also. The wife of a guy I work with lost

a niece in the Bali night club bombing. You just never know when you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Glad your friend is ok.

2. I used to have a Congressman from Wisconsin as my landlord.

When I lived in DC, a friend of mine and I rented an apartment from Steve Gunderson. It was a basement apartment. Steve and his "friend" lived in the house above us.

Anyone familiar with DC -- our house was right next to the Eastern Market metro stop on South Carolina Ave.

4. My sister-in-law

Missed both 911 and 7/7 because of her habit of going in to the office early.
