From the editors

THIS SUNDAY’S Peninsula Daily News will include North Olympic Peninsula recollections and testimonials to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.

It will also provide reminders of the numerous 9/11 commemoration activities around the Peninsula, including the dedication of a monument in Port Angeles containing an I-beam from the destroyed World Trade Center and the arrival of a piece of iron from Ground Zero in Sequim tomorrow.

Also featured in Sunday’s PDN will be an 8-page special section — “How America changed (and hasn’t changed)” — titled “Ten Years After.”

And as a bonus commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the long out-of-print special section produced by the PDN on the day of the attacks and published Sept. 12, 2001, has been electronically restored by Dave Weikel and Leticia Sparkman of the PDN’s technical services department.

It can now be viewed at http://tinyurl.com/pdnsection911.

It contains many of the shocking — and unbelievable — news photos from that terrible day in American history.

Sunday’s PDN with the special “Ten Years After” section — which will NOT appear electronically except for e-subscribers (click on the “e-Edition” button on the home page to find out how to subscribe to the PDN online edition) — will be available at 200 sales locations in Clallam and Jefferson counties starting at 7:30 a.m.

You won’t want to miss this Sunday’s PDN.

This agave grew from the size of a baseball in the 1990s to the height of Isobel Johnston’s roof in 2020. She saw it bloom in 2023.
