17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

4 WTC & Tower #1 too: Reverence from the 36th Floor

From TishTrek's 36th Floor Watch Tower on the Hudson River: Beam me up Scottie as we CELEBRATE & THANK all the remarkable hardhats whose skills made it possible to top off Tower 4 on Monday, June 25th, 2012 @ the amazing WTC in a "Beam-Signing Ceremony" which included Bebe Winans singing, "God Bless America." This NYC 72-story "Labor-of-Love Structure for the Record Books" is our country's 1st tower to open at WTC site since 9/11. I admit I am the tail-end of my grandmother's generation & yes - it took 50 years to watch progress @ two towers from a 36th floor window to understand what the definition of "resilence" IS. What a view! God Bless America. Warm regards, TishTrek
