HOMEWORK III: Due by 11 p.m. Thursday night, September 8:

The tenth anniversary to 9-11-01 is coming up this week-end.
The blog post below tells how a Jesuit priest working in NYC was able to find God in this our nation's darkest moment.
Read his blog post:
http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/september-11/911-10th-anniversary-martin.cfm

Then interview three persons--family or not--who were old enought to understand and now remember clearly the events of that bleak day.

Ask where they were and how they found out about this tragedy;
Ask how it affected them and their family and friends: share their stories.
Finally tell them about Father Martin's blog post and ask them if they too could see God in any of the occurrences in the days and weeks after 9-11.

Write up your three interviews in interesting, readable paragraphs of 12 sentences each. Make sure you tell me the name, age, and relationship (to you) of each person you interviewed.

Spell-check everything for accuracy and EMAIL to me at:
pmurphy@johncarroll.org no later than 11 p.m. on Thursday the 8th.
