9/11 Terror Attacks Unite Attendees at PRINT 01

Julie McFarland, CEO, McNaughton & Gunn, Saline, MI

The printing industry is built on relationships and that support was evident at the show on September 11, 2001. McNaughton & Gunn sent a number of people to PRINT 01. We drove from Michigan and met in the hotel lobby just as the first plane hit the World Trade Center. We were saddened, but proceeded to the show under the assumption that it was a horrible accident. We walked from our hotel to McCormick Place and, on the way, met someone who told us about the other planes. By the time we reached the show, the full story was beginning to unfold. We called our plant from a booth to check on everyone at the plant and assure them that we were safe.
