I know that people around the world were touched because there were people in those towers from 60 different countries, and a lot of people today are still, I know, wondering why. There are a couple of people I wanted to just say a word about. Again, I did not know them, but Mary Lou Hague had North Carolina ties. She was a graduate of the University of North Carolina in 1996, and she was a Tri Delt there. She was really from West Virginia, and was the kind of girl who went to New York and just loved every minute she was there during the 3 years; everything she did, she loved. Her friends and her family remember that when she loved something, she just loved it very big. She loved Michael Jackson so much that she spent $1,500 to see him the last weekend of her life.
