It's another year gone from 9/11 again. Just like the past few anniversaries, it still seems like yesterday to me. One of the things I find myself doing since then is finding the stories of the local folks who died in the attacks. Most from New England were either on flight 11 or flight 175. Just tonight, I was looking through the passenger list for flight 175, and couldn't help but notice three people with the same last name:

• Peter Hanson
• Sue Hanson
• Christine Hanson

Immediately I thought "this must be a family that was together...". I read into it and I was right. These were regular folks like you or me taking a family trip to Disneyland with their 2 1/2 year old daughter: the youngest victim in the terrorist attacks. I'm having a hard time getting the image of that little girl out of my head.

Please take a minute to read a bit about the Hansons:
