Our Christmas letter in 2001 contained this sentence
– In mid-September we went on a long-planned cruise which turned out to be a
timely retreat from reality to the wilderness of Alaska to try to regain
perspective on a changed world… referring of course to the aftermath of September
11, 2001.
At the Skagway stop we left our ship at the
foot of the main street and took the White Pass & Yukon Railway Summit
excursion to the Canadian border, where the half-staff flags reminded us of the
terrible events in the ‘Lower 48.’
