After a friend of mine discussed his joining and fighting for his country, then graciously shared his entire duration with me, I, unfortunately, could not join myself so I had to do something.

Kathy Ruth Neal (1945-2009) was a self taught woodcarver. She always felt her grandfather, Walter Whipple, make-up artist and silent screen actor ("Hell's Hinges"-1915), influenced her lifelong interest in colors, painting, and drama.

Our daughter told us she had thought the sky was full of butterflies or strange snow on that sunny morning but it was ash and scorched paper.  20 years and still so much destruction.  Working towards the future and hoping the Peace Crane will

In all my time living in New York City, I could depend on the Twin Towers to let me know where I'm at when I got disoriented. They were my compass.

"The crying door" created from salvaged 9/11 debris

You may find more examples of my work on my Facebook pages: "Randy New" and "RS New".

My artwork is usually centered around anthropomorphic characters that represent nostalgic places that were in my hometown, & related characters. I was born in 1989, & I'm very egalitarian in a more generally socially conservative town.

I am a Rhode Islander.

My name is Scott Norris. I am a Captain with the Saanich Fire Department in Victoria British Columbia.

In 2003 I won the international competition to design and install the 9/11 memorial in Norristown, Montgomery County seat, Pennsylvania.

The original version of my folk ballad, "Day of Ash", was composed on the third weekend of October, 2001. Slightly over a month after the tragic happenstances that occurred in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania.

While the lyrics of Martyrs of Manhattan were written the evening of the September 11th attack on the United States, a suitable melody was not found until nearly three years later.
