9-11 Memorial (Norristown, Pennsylvania) Part II

The press corps were very much in attendance. I occasionally wondered if they were going to shove each other off the piece of the courthouse steps that they were occupying.


The usual amount of dignitaries were in attendance. In the foreground you can see “Judges’ Row.” Court was in recess through the Dedication. I have no idea what was up with the dude sitting next to Joe Hoeffel, the former Congressman. He sat like that through the whole thing. He should have tried the Gold Bond Medicated Powder, I guess.


One of the most heartfelt and tear-inducing speeches was that of Ralph Maerz, whose son died in one of the towers.



Most of the speeches were even good. I‘m not just saying that because I have a personal connection to two of the speakers, Steve Pulley, D.O., is the Chief of the Montgomery County CISM team, and The Reverend Helen M.C. Jones is one of our Chaplains. We decided that Helen had the most happening hair of the day.


The project was spearheaded by one of the County Commissioners, James Matthews (center). If he looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen his brother. Chris. Still not getting it? Chris Matthews from Hardball.
