I'll see if I can get a favorable ruling on this thread being up for a few days.
Both my wife and I had worked at EY and we got this note today. Would say it's one of the reason's why I obtained a CHL and w/b working with Texas legislators to get the option to OC in Texas. I am pretty sure I met Ms Lee at AON - they handled our company insurance at Samsung Telecom. The office was so high up you had to go to the elevator lobby half way up and transfer. I remember in our Agent's office you could look DOWN out of the window and see the Statue of Liberty down there - about 3 inches tall between your thumb and finger.
You hear about the large number of Americans killed at WTC and the Pentagon, but it seem much closer to you when you have friends that worked with some of them.
