Could you please explain that statement? Was your birdwatching field trip to take you to the vicinity of what was to become the crash site? A little context would be appreciated!
Regards,
It was not that long after 9/11, and the authorities were totally paranoid that any plane crash was another terrorist attack. It was thought that it was not good to have girls a few miles from their home, in case their whereabouts had to be known in short order. Also, the crash was not on Long Island, but only a few miles away. So we cancelled the trip and unfortunately, it was never rescheduled. The girls lost out on what would have been a fine trip.
