Suzanne Calley '75 was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on
Sept. 11, 2001. The following comments are from her classmates: "She
had a smile for everyone." "Suzanne was so smart, she always got
good grades." "I sat next to Suzanne for English, Math, and in Home
Room." "I didn't know her really well but we had a history class
together and I wish I had gotten to know her better." She had the
locker next to mine said one class mate. "Suzanne was fun and
sweet." "I think we were in Girl Scouts together, but I remember
her well. I knew her brother Scott more than Suzanne." Some of us
regret not having stayed in touch with her. And we say to you, remove
from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "some
day". Write that letter you thought of writing "one of these
days." The class of 1975 contributed $100 towards a bench to be
placed in Pacific Grove in Suzanne's memory The Pacific Grove High

Scripps Howard News Service - in Fresno Bee, Fresno, CA Sept. 11,
2002
SHARON RANDALL: Where were you a year ago? Where are you now?
They are over - the events of last Sept. 11, along with all the lives
that ended that day. They remain only in history, as matters of fact,
and in memory, as matters of the heart. And so this week, one long year
after - and in every year to come, no doubt, for as long as we live -
we will remember, individually and collectively, the horror of those
events and the beauty of the lives that were taken from our midst. We
will remember, no matter how painful the memories, because we
understand one of life's most sobering realities: That when we leave
this earth, we leave behind only the people who loved us and the things
we lived and died for. Memorial services - whether in private or
public, including all those in this week across the nation and around
the world - are always for the living. They allow us to give voice to
our loss and our grief, and to celebrate the gift of life - both the
life that has ended, and the one we've yet to live. That is as it
should be. The question we've all heard and will often hear again is:
Where were you Sept. 11, 2001? A better question, more fitting somehow,
is: Where are we today? What have we learned from the sacrifice of
several thousand lives? Can we honor their memories by moving forward
and finding ways every day to be more alive? I can't speak for how
we're all doing in the aftermath of 9/11, or how we're coping as a
nation. But I can tell you about two remarkable women - one who died
and one who is learning how to live. Late on the morning of Sept. 11,
overcome with relief after my son called from New York to say he and
his wife were OK, I had a message from Norma Keleher, a neighbor in
Pacific Grove, Calif., saying she had just been informed that her
daughter, Suzanne Calley, had died in the crash at the Pentagon. We
barely knew each other, Norma and I, but in that instant, we connected
- neighbor to neighbor, mother to mother, soul to soul,
friend-to-friend. Nothing breaks down walls and brings us together
quite as easily or effectively as loss. Suzanne Calley, 43, to all who
knew her was passionately in love with life - a successful
businesswoman, an avid scuba diver, a beloved wife and friend - and in
her mother's words, "She was the light of my life." In the days and
weeks after her death, Norma struggled to search for meaning, to make
sense of the senseless, to overcome the pain and anger, and find peace
and acceptance in an unacceptable loss. It helped somehow, she said, to
keep a candle burning, night and day, and to talk to her daughter as if
she were there. But what helped her most, perhaps, besides the passage
of time, was "Suzanne's bench," a memorial that sits on a quiet spot by
the ocean, inscribed: "Suzanne Marie Calley - 9/17/57-9/11/01 -
Dedicated to the victims and those touched by the events of 9/11/01."
Norma goes there often to leave flowers for her daughter. Roses,
usually, their favorite. But slowly, in small steps, one by one, with
her daughter's memory as precious as ever, she has begun to move
forward with her life - getting out, getting involved, volunteering at
the American Cancer Discovery Shop, taking trips with her husband, Tom.
A year ago she didn't want to do anything, see anyone, go anywhere,
except to the past - the place that held her daughter. This week, as
she and her husband visit friends back east and attend a memorial
service at the Pentagon, she will carry Suzanne with her in her heart.
If a nation can mourn, as we have, like a mother for a lost child, can
we not also heal and grow ever stronger like my friend Norma Keleher?

Suzanne Calley, 42, lived with her husband Frank Jensen in the rural
community of San Martin, just south of San Jose. She loved the
outdoors, skiing near Lake Tahoe in the winter and scuba diving
whenever she could--Monterey, Hawaii, Belize. The couple were diving in
the Caribbean not long before she went to Washington. A California
native and Cal State Chico graduate, she worked for the San Jose
computer networking giant Cisco Systems in strategic marketing.
"Suzanne's energy and enthusiasm were contagious," Cisco said in a
statement. "She was highly respected by her friends and colleagues and
her presence will be greatly missed by all." "She was vivacious, full
of fun, ready to go and organized, happy," said her next-door neighbor,
Diana Christie. She leaves behind her father, mother and brother. "I
loved her more than life itself," her husband said in a statement.
Their 20th wedding anniversary was Wednesday.
