9/11: 15 Years Later

It’s been 15 years since the horrors of Sept. 11, 2001. The terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and injured twice that many, rewrote the rules for travel and security and changed how safe we feel. We touched base with some of those most affected by the Sept. 11 attacks who weren’t ready to speak out until now.

Quote Unquote: Jerry Rauckhorst

After a 40-year career at Catholic Charities—21 in Hawai‘i—Jerry Rauckhorst is retiring from the job—but not from giving back. For those 21 years, he has headed the private, 69-year-old social service agency in Hawai‘i, which provides a wide range of services to more than 40,000 people every year, regardless of faith or culture. When the 67-year-old father retires at the end of the year, he plans to teach, travel, babysit his two grandkids and stay involved with the national organization in some way.
