Narrative:
On 9/fri/01 I was informed by a friend that a NOTAM grounding all flight operations had been filed after the attacks on 09/tue/01. As all of my 137 operations are local to ZZZ I never check NOTAMS. All operations are in rural areas. No notice was received by FAA, state or airport manager.
