Nine years ago today, we were getting ready to tape two shows.  I was still at home when I saw what first appeared to be a terrible accident, so I drove in to work.  Once in the makeup chair, we had the TV on and I soon realized it was much more than an accident.  I quickly met with the executive producer and we agreed to cancel the shows. Our studio was in a high rise building in downtown Chicago and along with much of the staff, I left the building out of fear that we might be next.  I vividly remember driving back home with a sick feeling in my stomach, knowing that things would never be the same.  Denis and I watched TV all day and all night, in disbelief.  My prayers go out to those who lost family and loved ones that day.
