It is Ten years this week since four hijacked civilian air planes crashed into the world trade center, the pentagon and a field in Shanksville Pennsylvania.

This show shares the story of Alameda residents Barry Schutz -- he was an academic, educator and Africa specialist working at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research at the time -- and his wife Karen Lee, both of whom made dramatic decisions on and after that day. They would marry, leave Washington DC and move to Alameda California.

We also talk with Alameda resident, artist, and Navy veteran Michael McDonald about the day two members of the Secret Service arrived at his house. McDonald is restoring the mural on Haight at Webster.
