I remember encountering one about two months after 9/11. I was walking to Grand Central station. As I paused at a corner, I noticed a man standing, just looking lost. He looked at me and asked, "Which way is Grand Central. I just got out of a counseling meeting for fire fighers." He looked so tired. I offered to walk him to the station and found a police officer to guide him from there but this still haunts me.Mamacitahttp://www.mamacitaonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26887038.post-1158019820511621772006-09-11T18:10:00.000-06:002006-09-11T18:10:00.000-06:00That was great, Betty, thank you for sharing him with us.
