Late April is a bad time for tragic events. Columbine shootings were also in late April. There are other events as well, I can’t remember all of them.

February We heard a loud boom and ran out the front door to see this. I remember it was a Saturday but could not tell you the date. I was turning on the tv because some show I regularly watched was coming on and instead it was the live coverage of the debris trails across the sky.

rockpile Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 On 4/19/2018 at 7:54 AM, ShadyBillsFan said: Date - February 1, 2003. Saturday morning around 9 AM. It got a lot of coverage in Texas. @CowgirlsFan about the amount of coverage there was. - Do Not Pick Up Any Debris You Find. Call the local authorities. It was short lived. Nortel relocated an office from Boca Raton to Richardson in the summer of 2002. I sold my house in Florida and bought a house in Allen. By Oct 2002 I was laid off. Thanks to ENRON scandal and the Telecom Crash jobs were hard to find and I had no way to pay the mortgage. I returned to Florida in 2003. I worked for Computer Consoles Inc. or CCI. We were absorbed into Nortel (Networks) in the 1990's, leasing computer systems and application software for over 50% of the Directory Assistance, Audio Response, 9-1-1 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, England, and Australia. Our main customers were AT&T, Sprint, MCI, GTE, and Ma Bell, which was broken up into dozens of Baby Bells. Our Office Systems were deployed in many law firms and government offices - including the Pentagon. Rochester, NY was the main hub for worldwide manufacturing, sales, customer service, and voice and database services. I was a supervisor in the world wide distribution center and interacted daily with field engineers, project managers, and sales, some of them in Richardson, TX. My team's primary job was keeping spare parts available for local repair of over 100 remote offices. Depending on your job, we may have "worked together". Nortel eventually sold us off, and I was laid off on 1/28/2007, after 27 years on the job and four years shy of retirement benefits. I fortunately got a pension buy out based on years of service, and moved my 401K out of Nortel's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 April 19th for a number of reasons. First of all sadly it’s the same day as the Waco disaster and OK City bombing. But also it’s my aunt and cousin’s bday. Just a big coincidence that my aunt had my cousin on her bday and it was the same day as all of that other stuff.
