    1. Ogdensburg Memorial Wall- Robert Bjork
    2. Bobbi
    3. I'm writing because I know that there are so many people from Upstate New York that would like to 'do something' for those who have died and those who are currently 'lost' in wake of this terrorism attack. Hello, Listers! I want to simply tell those in Upstate NY about the existing Memorial Wall in Ogdensburg. Approximately 5 years ago my father, Robert "Bob" Bjork of Ogdensburg, began plans to build a memorial wall for those who have had loved ones who have passed. The inspiration behind this act of kindness was to keep in memory all people who have passed, although my father's immediate inspiration was to keep the memory of my nephew Adam Michael Bjork (1983-1996) alive and honored. This wall is designed so that the whole community can plant a flower or tree in memory of their loved one. Today, the public response is enormously positive! Many flowers & trees & shrubs have been planted to honor those passed. My father continues to work effortlessly to provide help, structure and guidance to those who are interested in participating in this 'beautification' and memorial project. In wake of our world tragedy, my father is currently working very diligently on a special memorial project for those who have perished or remain lost. Please take some time out to go to Ogdensburg and visit this wall. Plant a flower. Say a prayer. Gather. Unite. Come together in your sorrow. Participate. My father can be reached at (315) 393-1107 or (315) 393-3578 or more commonly, he'll probably be seen at the Memorial Wall in Ogdensburg, located downtown, across from the Ogdensburg Mall, along the crescent. Again, I encourage you to visit the Wall and contribute your time, effort and prayer in memory of those who have been lost or perished and in solemn prayer for our Nation and remember those brave rescue workers, firemen & policemen who daily work hard to rescue & recover people from the buildings, so that a form of closure can be felt across America. Also, say a special prayer for our wonderful President Bush and for those brave military men & women who will courageously battle terrorism within this imminent war. (My husband Karl is an Army soldier who will possibly be among the 'fighting brave') Thank you for your time and for your effort & prayers! Bobbi Rae (Bjork) Lehnhardt
