Nearly everyone can remember how they heard the news of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Many Americans had ties to those who lost their lives in New York, the Pentagon and a lonely field in Pennsylvania.
The News Sentinel has chronicled the remarkable stories of some East Tennesseans who lost their lives in the attacks, and others whose lives have been forever changed by the events of Sept. 11.
You can find those stories in our special section, 9/11 Ten Years Later.
In October, I introduced you to Roger Kane, a gardener who grows citrus fruit and other plants rare to Knoxville.
Roger keeps his orange, lemon and tangerine trees in pots that he moves to his garage in the winter months.
It’s peak season for his citrus fruit and this week he shared oranges, tangerines and tangelos with me. All were perfectly ripe and juicy.
I grew up eating oranges from Florida, but I’ve not seen one as large as Roger’s grown right here in Knoxville. Thank you for the sample, Roger!
