9/11: Two years later

An incredible thing has been percolating at Fray this week. The students of East Side Community High School in New York City have been visiting the site as part of a classroom project. Every morning I’m greeted by a fresh batch of posts.

Two years ago today, these students, some of whom were only in 5th grade at the time, witnessed the Twin Towers fall just across town. This week they visited Missing Pieces and posted over 150 stories about September 11. Reading these stories gave me a new insight to the tragedy, and the childhood memories we keep forever.

What are your missing pieces?
