Remembering 9/11: Twelve Years Later
Visitors stroll the grounds near one of the pools at the 9/11 memorial plaza in the
World Trade Center site in New York
A lthough more than a decade has
passed since the September 11th,
2001 terrorist attacks, the tragedy
still has a major impact on most Americans.
In this week’s edition of The Savannah Tri
bune we will share reflections from local res
idents and the latest developments involving
the New York site of the attacks.
As the United States prepares to
observe the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 at
tacks , experts note that the incident changed
how many Americans view their security and
standing in the world. It continues to have
a significant physiological impact on many
people.
In a leading study conducted by the
University of Michigan and published in the
Journal of Traumatic Stress, researchers con
firmed that the 9/11 attacks had a major im
pact on the psychological processes of people
not directly exposed to the event.

Count Down To
Savannah’s Jazz Festival
Last week Savannah Tribune was proud to
announce the 32nd annual Savannah Jazz Festival
beginning Sunday September 22. The week’s line
up continues on to Silent Film Night with Live
Jazz on Monday night featuring Jody Espina &
Tricycle at 7:30 p.m. in Habersham Village. This
New York City Based Trio will perform original
compositions accompanying the Silent films of
Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Felix the
Cat. The music is fully composed and timed
to the films, yet written in a loose Jazz combo
style, which leaves ample room for impro
visation. The following Tuesday
night Eric Jones Quartet appears
at 6:30 p.m. Eric Jones was born
in Moultrie, Ga and started to play
piano by the age of 5. His Savannah
Jazz Festival band includes some of
the area’s finest musicians: Jody Es
pina - sax, Delbert Felix - bass, Sean
Bolden - drums, and Claire Frazier -
vocals.
Follow the sounds into
Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. with Velvet
Caravan. When five of Savannah’s most
skilled musicians deem their genre ‘Eu
ropean redneck music,’ you know you’re
in for an unforgettable treat. Combining Gyp
sy-Jazz, HonkyTonk, Swing and Latin, this band
plays upbeat tunes from all over the world with
thunderous virtuosity and a relentless sense of
humor. The night continues on with Bob Mas-
teller & The Jazz Comer Allstars at 7:30 p.m.
Bob Masteller is the owner of the nationally
recognized “The Jazz Comer” on
Hilton Head Island. You can hear
multi-jazz sounds from Gershwin
to Jobim, played by Mr. Masteller
and his multi-talented band!

Virginia Morrison,
Retired Educator
“September 11,2001 was one
of the most critical days of my
life. My nephew worked at
the Pentagon. I was at school
when the news broke and the
first person that came to mind
was my nephew. Oh My God,
Chris...As God would have
it, he wasn’t at work that day.
Then I prayed for the others
who had lost loved ones.”
Jamal Barrow, Master
Sgt. U. S. Air Force
“What happened on 9/11
totally changed the way
Americans live. No one ever
thought something like that
would happen here. Although
some good came of it. Amer
icans took on a spirit of patri
otism understanding that we
are all in this together.”
James Roberts III,
Football Coach and Trainer
“I was a student at Savannah
Tech and I was in class.
The news came and they
stopped class and turned on
the television. I thought ‘this
can’t be real’. Then to leam it
was an act of terrorism. I had
never heard of anything like
that happening in America.
At the same time, the country
united.”
Susie Harvey,
Fitness Trainer
“The terroristic act of 9/11
reminded me to hold my
family close. Also to treasure
the freedoms we have in our
country. I gained special re
spect for our First Respond
ers across the country. It was
certainly a wake up call on
what can happen in the twin
kling of an eye.”
Hurley Ryan (Left)
“I was at work as an Insurance Agent. I have a friend who
worked in the Twin Towers. Finally I got the word that his
children had been sick the night before and he got very little
sleep himself. He overslept the next morning, took a subway
to work. As he arrived, he witnessed the plane flying into his
building. Out of 300 people in his office, approximately 35
survived. He often asks, ‘What if I had been on time?”’
Ousmane Diarra, Fitness Trainer (Right)
“I was a night auditor at a local hotel. I got off from work at
7am. I went home and straight to bed. I did not awake until
2pm. I turned on the television and thought I was watching a
movie. I could not believe it happened in America.”
