Sept. 10 wedding anniversary a reminder of loss and love in NYC for Bellingham couple

Ten years ago, Len Helfgott and Kathryn Anderson were celebrating their 30th anniversary with a dinner surrounded by friends in New York City. It was a wonderful night.
When the Bellingham couple woke up the next morning, the world had changed. The attacks of Sept. 11 had rocked the city and shocked the country. The couple spoke to The Bellingham Herald from New York on that Sept. 11 about what things were like in the city.
"We were looking for the Trade Center," Anderson said in an article written at the time. "We thought it was behind a set of buildings. And then we realized it just wasn't there."
