I was too. They did it to me, and I've never forgotten the feeling. Her apology really helped.
I kind of wished they'd followed up with some of the people who objected to the Wall. I think the reality of it in person far exceeds anything the drawings and sketches would have led you to believe. I wonder sometimes if even Maya Lin had any real idea how it would be when built, or how it would affect people.
