NPR is keeping an eye -- or an ear -- on Joplin, some months now since the tornado ripped out a third of that city.

September 11th, 2011

10 years since "that day." Some of you may have followed the many different programs that covered the events of Sunday's rememberance.

Some of you may have preferred to just let it go by as just another Sunday; and who wants to remember all that really?

Circumstances prevented me from attending the memorial in New York City (yes, I would have braved the crowds but ---) so I don't have my own photographs to add to this site, alas. However, there are some photos out there, and they are like unto what I would have taken had I been able. Once again NPR comes to my "rescue;" NPR and New York's WNYC (for whom I'm still a sustaining member). There are also links within these pages.
