Operation Find Don

Sarah Bunting is the author of Tomato Nation, one of my favorite sites on the internet. She lives in New York and was speaking at a meeting in the financial district on September 11, 2001. Her first-hand account of what it was like near Ground Zero that day was one of the more affecting stories I read. In For Thou Art With Us , Sarah recounts meeting a man named Don in the lobby of the Bank of New York building where they both sought refuge from the wave of debris from the falling towers. They buddied up and walked together out of lower Manhattan. She’s been trying to find him for the last two years to say thanks. This week’s column at Tomato Nation invites anyone out there to help.
