- 10048 (ZIP code) – 10048 was the ZIP code assigned to the original World Trade Center complex in New York City. It was discontinued following the September 11 attacks in 2001. Years afterward, mail continues to be sent to 10048 by senders who have not updated their mailing lists. The ZIP code is being kept active by the United States Postal Service (USPS). It has not been assigned to 1 World Trade Center and other buildings planned for the World Trade Center site, which use the ZIP code 10007 instead.

Not sure if you've mentioned reading it, but you would love The Presidents Club by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy. It's a great book.
Thanks for the recommendation, Gary. I actually have the book but keep putting it off, I’ll open it up this week.
Also the new book Reclaiming Hope should be at the TOP of Geeding-must-read list! 🙂 So good. https://www.amazon.com/Reclaiming-Hope-Lessons-Le…
Fairbanks' population is only 31K, and 2K marched. That's like 450K attending a march in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Imagine 450K marching in Dallas in sub-zero temperatures.
That's REALLY impressive.
