Times square is uncharacteristically quiet at 6:59 a.m. on a chilly fall Tuesday. A stream of cabs zips through the intersection outside the Good Morning America studio at 44th Street and Broadway, not yet steady enough to cause the honk of a horn. A dozen fans of the show press up against the windows as the GMA team prepares to go live. Terrie McCaleb of Hutto, Texas, holds a sign that reads "Home of the Hippos." It's Hutto High School's mascot, she explains. McCaleb attended a wedding in Pittsburgh, and she, her husband and son decided to venture further east to New York. Their son is a firefighter, so they aimed to hit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. GMA is Terrie's favorite show, which is how she ended up in Times Square on this October morning.
