What Followed 9/11? Random Acts of Kindness And a Wave of Compassion

What Followed 9/11? Random Acts of Kindness And a Wave of Compassion
I want people to remember the compassion that sprung up on 9/11, so I'm offering a look back: The stories of a Las Vegas coach service, the restaurant owners in Maine who wanted to donate, German soldiers saluting from a ship at sea, and, of course, the amazing story of Gander, the tiny New Foundland town which embraced thousands of stranded airline passengers, all will make you feel the unity once again.

I remember the compassion that sprung up on 9/11 and in the weeks following.

In those days, I was regularly printing a newsletter, "Some Good News!"

There were so many inspiring stories in the days following September 11, 2001 that I produced a tribute edition to pay homage to all the amazing acts of kindness that had blossomed around the globe…

The stories of a Las Vegas coach service, the Maine restaurant owners and their special donation, German soldiers saluting from a ship at sea, and the amazing story of Gander, the tiny Newfoundland town that welcomed thousands of stranded airline passengers with open arms: All these little stories will make you remember that special feeling of oneness.

You can download (or print) the 8-page edition of "Some Good News" (Fall, 2001) at the following link: 9/11 Commemorative Newsletter.
