I think everyone has an "I.G.Y." moment when they're young and then an "End of the Innocence" moment later. My "I.G.Y." moment was when the Berlin Wall came down. My "End of the Innocence" moment was 9/11.
This time of the year, as we careen into the holiday season, it's important to remember that peace is possible. So are reconciliation and reunion. These were ideals that Dag espoused and they are as important now as ever.
