To the people of Gander,

I have just finished watching the television special, hosted by journalist Tom Brokaw, about the extreme kindnesses you bestowed on the passengers who arrived on your doorstep on Sept. 11, 2001.

I had never been aware, until today, of what had happened in your town on that day, and in the days that followed. I was so very touched by all that you did, and by the quiet and strong support you gave so unselfishly.

To the people of Gander,

I have just finished watching the television special, hosted by journalist Tom Brokaw, about the extreme kindnesses you bestowed on the passengers who arrived on your doorstep on Sept. 11, 2001.

I had never been aware, until today, of what had happened in your town on that day, and in the days that followed. I was so very touched by all that you did, and by the quiet and strong support you gave so unselfishly.

I want to thank you today, and tell you that, for the rest of my days, I will always smile when I hear the lovely name of your town.

Fondly,

B. Kidwell

Bucks County, Pennsylvania
