More fallout from the bombing
Posted by Teresa at 11:00 AM *

Our friends Ellie Lang and Greg Costikyan live a block from the World Trade Center. Greg got to watch both towers collapse from a few blocks away. Ellie had just stepped outside when the first tower collapsed, and had to dive for it. She was evacuated to Staten Island, unhurt but covered from head to toe in dust, with nothing but what she had on her. She and Greg stayed in our basement for a while, then moved over to Soren and Velma’s.

Greg’s now staying with another friend, and Ellie and the cats are up at Nancy and Elric’s place in Manchester, New Hampshire. It’s a strange new life for a New York girl. Here are Nancy’s photos of their trip to the annual Topsfield Fair.
