Dear Mr. MacAskill:

I am a fellow high school classmate of Mr. William "JR" Giebler who was killed when Pam Am Flight 103 was blown out of the sky December 21, 1988 by a terrorist bombing. I am from the United States of America and graduated with a class of 167 high school classmates, William "JR" Giebler, one of the 167 among us. That horrible day that took our friend and classmate will live with us FOREVER.

My name is Laurie Ciulla, and my father, S. Frank Ciulla died on Dec. 21st, 1988.

I made a promise to myself 20 years ago that if I were to ever speak publicly about my father's life or death, I would only do so if what I had to contribute was positive or optimistic. According to my 19 year old self at the time, it was anger and hatred that brought down Pan Am Flight 103, and I wanted no part.
