A City in Mourning
In all seriousness, I just wanted to express my sadness and condolences, after the crash of Flight 5191 at Blue Grass Field in Lexington, KY.
My hometown is one of those places that has retained a small-town feel, even though it's grown a lot and now is home to more than a quarter-million people. If you didn't know someone on that plane, odds are you know someone who did. For myself, fortunately, the connection is only slight -- I had interviewed one of the passengers a long time ago when I worked as a reporter at the NPR affiliate in Lexington, WUKY.
We may never fully understand the whys or the hows, but I know that Lexington is filled with a wonderful sense of community, and the city will move forward together.
