September 11th was a day that we will all remember with every emotion we could ever feel, that day was especially tragic in that a very good friend of mine, Jim Romitto died that day also.

Jim didn't have to be at work that day, he was scheduled to be off, Jim was the Chief of the Port Authority Police Dept., the people initially charged with saving/evacuating as many people as possible.

Fact was, Jim bein' the person he was, when he heard about the plane crash got outta his safe bed at home with his fiancé, (my best friend's sister Mary, where he lived with her and her son Bobby) 'cause he, as he told her, "...had to go to work, they were gonna need everyone."

When the dust had finally settled Jim was no where to be found, he was last seen near the ground floor with another PA Officer and a disabled woman they were tryin' to get to safety, unfortunately the building collapsed on the three of them before they got out.

Mary called his cell phone for months before we convinced her that te phone was probably not working and Jim was not gonna call back, they were among the last bodies recovered before ground zero was to be declared cleaned up.

Sorry for the downer lead in but I felt it was necessary to tie in the knife in question.

My friends fiancé was despondent but her son was devastated, one of the things Bobby had admired about his soon to be stepfather's job was the work knife Jim and most of his Brothers "on the job" carried, a Buck 110 which sat nestled in the leather sheath the knife came with, so I reached out to the Community here at BFC and asked if I could get some help to get Bobby a Knife like his Dad's.

I was overwhelmed by the generosity that flooded in, everything was donated from the knife and custom scales that were made to the plaque it as mounted on to the brass plate that was engraved in memoriam for Jim, I presented the knife and plaque to Bobby and his mother here's a picture and a link to the original thread, please read the original thread to get a feelin' for how generous this community truly is.

BTW I saw Bobby last week and the boy is becommin' a man he has grown and matured so much that when he shook my hand and told me how glad he was to have seen me, it was the confident handshake of a man and not the unsure hand shake of a child.

Thanks for readin' my stories, thanks to all involved in bringing the knife to fruition and always remember, never forget 9/11.
