My colleague, Ann Parham, Department of Army Librarian, who was injured in the attack on the Pentagon is doing well physically. In fact she was selected to represent the civilians receiving the Defense of Freedom medal in an appearance on CBS morning show with Bryant Gumbel. She appeared along with a sergeant major who helped at least seven people escape from the burning building. Ann seemed calm speaking about the horror of that day and the burns on her face were not noticeable. Some of the other librarians in
the Pentagon that day are still suffering a psychological aftermath I hear--sleeping problems and the turmoil of working in new locations (Library was heavily damaged although contractors were able to save many of the books from water damage).
We humans have got to find a better way to settle differences than crazy terrorist attacks!
