I met Debbie Becwar on September 12, 2001. Deb and I were vacationing in Bar Harbor, Maine at the time of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in NYC in 2001. The following day we both had the same idea - to get out and do something outdoors with other people and get our minds off of the tragedy of the day before. Debbie and I signed up for a sea kayaking tour in Bar Harbor and wound up being paired in the same tandem kayak . For the next couple of days Deb and I went hiking, biking and touring around the island together. We had a really great time and for me it felt good not to feel alone for the first couple of days after 9/11. We've kept in touch almost daily and have been the closest of friends ever since.
