9/11 memorial guided by the eloquent JIM QUINN's - We were lucky enough to have JIM QUINN as our guide. As he had been living just down the road from the twin towers it was his lived experience that he shared with us most eloquently and with deep passion and compassion. He described what happened on that awful day so clearly and with such a deep commitment to keeping the memory of the dead alive. It was pouring with rain but he held us, his audience, captivated with his thoughtful narrative. A fitting guide for such a difficult story.

Amazing tour! - We were with Jim Q who was an amazing storyteller, and made the story feel alive. It was never boring and incredibly interesting. He honeyed the dead, and told the story very well, but still tried to end the tour on a more positive note.
