New York New York !!!
I leave tomorrow for New York for what promises to be an eventful weekend. My five Evilution panels are now safely at St Peter's Church close to Ground Zero and await my arrival to unpack and hang them in readiness for Saturday's reception. That event will start with pipers from the FDNY playing on the steps of the church followed by the performance of songs that relate to 9/11. Father Madigan will then bless the panels . Susan Rescorla , widow of Cornish born Rick who led over 2700 people to safety before losing his life as the South Tower collapsed, will introduce the panels and invite me to speak about them and my project. I will then dedicate the 9/11 panel to Father Mychal Judge, a chaplain to the FDNY who was victim 0001 on that day, Rick Rescorla and the 9/11 First Responders. Then we are all going to a nearby Irish pub for me to meet everyone ( and possibly have a drink! ). The rest of my trip is in the 'lap of the Gods'. I'll be collecting as much info and as many photos of the event as I can and will be publishing everything via my Blogspot, website, Facebook, Twitter and next newsletter. Watch this space!!
