By Mindy Kepfield Journal Record Staff Reporter W ednesday at 9 a.m. is usually uneventful in The Journal Record newsroom.
Reporters arrive, get their messages, finish their breakfast with coffee and gear up for the day.
I read Wednesday's edition of the paper, talked with a few co-workers and listened to my voice mail. A fellow reporter, Susan Parrott, had brought French vanilla coffee and decided to brew a pot. I was by the coffee pot to get my morning share of good caffine when I felt a thump and the room went white with dust. Debris fell from the wall and ceiling. I saw Susan run for the exit, and I knew I had to get to my feet.
