All of my colleagues really did a tremendous job that day under some very trying circumstances. I really felt proud to be a Blade reporter that day.

So far I think he has done quite well under very difficult and trying circumstances, ... He's making the store more appealing and easier to shop, and has been reviewing the product mix for the last several months now and we have seen some very favorable shopper response.

There were times when I was in the mist of the crowd and found I was the only one who didn't have a rock in my hand. I almost felt out of place.

It was one of those situations where you have instincts as a reporter, and instincts as a human being. There are times when you are not thinking of stories, you are thinking of people's safety.

In 22 years of being in the business, there is nothing else that I can compare it to.

The harder the circumstances, the more trying the environment, the stronger are those who come out of those circumstances.
