The guest on August 3rd was a guy named Michael Bonner who is a journalist and was a producer of the United 93 movie. On the show they were playing and discussing the actual recordings that have been released of the control room at NORAD, where you can hear the military learning about and reacting to the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Mr. Bonner has also just written an article on the Norad Tapes.
Our Six-Year-Old Chandler, is quite a little "planner." When his Uncle John Olsen was here this last week-end for Grammy's wedding, Chandler made detailed plans for showing Uncle John all his firefighter and medical equipment.
