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.

Best Supporting Actor: THAT Maritime Salvage Crane!

In the end, it was all about THE CRANE! SIX HOURS AGO: Watching from the waterfront of America's Hudson River: Celebrating THE CRANE! Jersey City's Weeks Marine 533 floating maritime salvage crane - THE legend that pulled US Airways Flight 1549 from the Hudson River in 2009 & transported a British Airways Concorde to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan - escorted our 150,000 pound (68,000-kilogram) Shuttle Enterprise today. Planes, boats & trains weighing more than a million pounds can be plucked like flowers by the beastly crane. The hull is constructed with surplus panels from WWII ships. A beautiful silhouette - a boom met our NYC skyline, towering 295 feet off the water! What inspires you out your window? Best regards, TishTrek
