"Kim Trudell, from Marblehead, Massachusetts, had lost her husband, Frederick Rimmele, when on his way to a medical conference in California on September 11, his flight, United Airlines 175, vaporized in a cloud of jet fuel against the south tower of the World Trade Center. Trudell asked Mortenson to carry her husband's medical books to Kabul, believing education was the key to resolving the crisis with militant Islam." ~ Three Cups of Tea, p.287
"A Republican congressman from California interrupted Mortenson in midsentence, challenging him. 'Building schools for kids is just fine and dandy,' Mortenson remembers the congressman saying. 'But our primary need as a nation now is security. Without security, what does all this matter?'" ~ Three cups of Tea, p. 292
Who elected that guy?
Life in a small town with a large family. Trying to put God on display.
