ELLENSBURG, Wash. - It was just more than eight months ago that
the nation watched in horror as the buildings of the World Trade Center
(WTC) crashed to the ground in New York.
Bobbie Scopa, fire management officer for the Okanogan and Wenatchee
National Forest, spent 30 days at "ground zero" following the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks that brought down the structures. She will discuss her
experiences at the WTC site, Friday, May 17, at Central Washington
University.
Her free, public noon presentation in Club Central in the Samuelson Union
Building, will include slides and stories to help describe the experience.
Scopa's presentation is sponsored by "Central Paws," a campus
community-building project team idea. For more information, or for persons
of disability to arrange for reasonable accommodation, call (509) 963-1493,
or (for the hearing impaired) TDD (509) 963-3323.
