Hi Joey,

 I was hoping you may be able to help get the word out that tonight’s forum has been moved online.  We have posted it on social, sent the announcement to the paper and there will be an email blast going out today as well. 

 The public can zoom in via https://gloucester-ma-gov.zoom.us/j/84699153016

Or watch it live on 1623 Studio’s YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3FvyyIGmRU

The Sept 11 attack was 24 years ago. For many of us, myself included, it’s a day etched in memory. That day and the days and weeks that followed seemed to stack up horror upon horror in unimaginable ways. I will never forget, but there’s an entire generation for whom the day does not live in memory. That day changed our nation and the world in ways evident even today in the safety measures, airline precautions and more. Please take a moment today to pause, reflect and remember.

This is a blog post I wrote in 2009 that expresses some of the thoughts 16 years ago when I was still teaching and my children were young adults. It still feels relevant.
