Hello, Jeffery...These are such easy, simple questions to answer. I've read and heard what you put on the internet, including our phone conversation. at least i know how my responses are used. i can understand why folks would like answers rather than speculations to these questions, and i'm not unwilling to cooperate. I'd like to have some information or answers, too.

1. Was anybody in your group at Ground Zero during the same timeframe? If so, i'd like to read their account or communicate.

I'm getting ready for work, not much time, so here's one answer (Question #8):

#8 There were deadlines around the world to be met for pictures to be printed in the Wednesday morning papers. Presses could only be held so long, and many papers were waiting to the last second to get what they considered to be the best picture for their front pages. i got back to my hotel around 6:pm and it was somewhere between then and about 10pm that i verbally agreed to allow AP to handle my pictures. Robert Bukaty was the "AP guys" who came to my hotel room on a bicycle. he was there not quite an hour. Polite, nice, considerate.

Jeff, i don't usually respond in forums, threads, etc...dangerous i think for picking up viruses, etc...guess i err on the cautious side. I do read them, and know some of what people are saying. Hate that bit about my boring blouse and me being a man. would love to see what they would have looked like around midnight, exhausted, scared, no shower, just a "boring blouse" change. I could have squished a handful of my hair and it would have stayed in a tight, ashy ball. the stuff that was in the air was awful. we know what it was. it was on me and in me. i hate to even think about that.

I will be most willing to respond to you via e-mail.

tgc, Carmen
