Editor's Note: This article was originally published on September 9, 2021. It has since been updated. On the morning of September 11, 2001, Beverly Eckert waited anxiously by the phone, knowing it would ring. It had almost become certain it would be the last time she would hear her husband Sean Rooney's voice. The hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 had just crashed into the World Trade Center and Rooney was stuck on the 105th floor with no means to leave the building. Rooney had called and exchanged messages with her after the attack. She headed home immediately and waited for his call. He told her the stairs were filled with thick smoke and there was no way out. With time running out, he dedicated his final moments to reminiscing their joyful life together, repeating 'I love you' to his wife, over and over. Beverly Eckert was his high school sweetheart. They had met when he was just 16 at a high school dance before eventually getting married. Eckert held on to the phone tight, aware that this was their last moment together.

The recall of over two dozen candy lines was prompted by concerns that they may be contaminated with salmonella, a common cause of food poisoning. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the recall due to potential health risks associated with the affected products. These sweet treats, including caramel pretzels and cookies, were distributed nationwide to retailers like Walmart, Hy-Vee, Dollar Central, and Target, as well as other wholesalers. Salmonella can cause symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, especially affecting vulnerable individuals such as the elderly or those with weakened immune systems.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
