Time!

It's been a while since I've added to this blog, but I was distracted by some personal developments. One was my wedding to Stephanie on April 4th and the other was being laid off from my job the week after we returned from honeymoon!

Well, at least I now have more time to devote to the book! On May 5, 2009, I had the opportunity to interview Cathleen McCormack, who was a young nurse, fresh out of school, at the hospital in Perth Amboy, NJ where they took the injured from the wreck. She had many interesting stories of her experiences that day. I have also been in regular contact with Kelly Cooper from Virginia, whose grandfather had perished in the wreck. She has been getting the details from her mother. I still have another gentleman to follow up with who knew Joe Fitzsimmons as well.

Trying to view the loss of my job as a positive, I now have the time to pursue these leads!
