An air of expectancy filled the space surrounding township hall yesterday morning as I passed by. A grand entryway had been improvised on Valley Road, and mayors, people in uniform and citizens gathered in front of the fire station,
while a bagpiper played in the courtyard. Something was up, something was coming, and it turned out to be a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. Where the section of beam will be displayed was not clear.
I didn't stay to witness the arrival, but thought the magnolia blossoms mixing with stones offered a fitting tribute to go along with the town's welcome.
