Autumn 2001       Vol III, No.2

Dear Clients and Friends:

It seems like only yesterday but it is now over a month since the tragedy at the World Trade Center.

My condolences go to those of you who lost friends and loved ones in the attack. I remain available to you, personally and professionally, to assist in any way possible. After being a refugee from home and office - both of which were evacuated for over two weeks following the disaster - I am working to restore a routine to my own life. Here at the office, we feel we are finally catching up on the back-log of work that resulted from the closing of our office and the courts.

I would like to thank my clients for their patience during this crisis, and for the many friends who provided support in various ways. Of course we all hope never to experience such tragedy again in our lives, but it is comforting to know that in times of crisis we are here for each other.

In an effort to provide a small measure of assistance to my clients and friends, I have prepared a list of helpful telephone numbers that can be clipped and saved for future reference.

My office is open, the telephone is working, and if you need me please call.

Until then, I am wishing for health, peace and comfort to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Bruce Feffer
