Thanks Christina for passing on the 9/11 name list. I posted the message below to the Newfoundland list as my paternal Irish Connors/Kennedy line came to Brooklyn, NY after a long settlement in Placentia Bay and Harbor Grace. I wanted to Thank the city of Gander, NFLD for their help on 9/11/01. While 9/11 victims were truly representative of the global makeup of NYC, the Irish loss seemed overwhelming...at least to me. I could not list them all so ultimately I included the URL for a 9/11 victims list. It was a hard day to look for the dead. Thanks all,Joanne >>>>List, I cannot help but see these names scrolling across the CNN screen. Memorialize these names today because someone will come looking for them someday. The victims of the World Trade Center attack in New York City, those at the Pentagon, those on the planes, and those of that lost their lives trying to rescue them. My brother Daniel J. Connors witnessed the second plane crashing into second tower he was luckily late to work at bldg. 7 of the World Trade Center plaza. After trying to reach him for 6 hours, his call came through and we watched together 2,000 miles apart as CNN filmed the collapse of his office, building 7. Margaret Mary Conner,James L. Connors. and Jonathan Connors were not as lucky. I have no idea who they were except that they were victims of this attack against the US on Sept. 11, 2001. While the names of the victims are being recited ceremoniously on CNN, I recognize too many familiar surnames ...... ADAMS, BENNETT, BIRD, BISHOP, BRENNAN, BURKE, BYRNES, CAREY, COLEMAN, CALLAGHAN, CLARKE,COLLINS, CULLEN,JONES, MURRAY, MURPHY, SULLIVAN, TEMPLE, TUCKER, WELLS, WHALEN, WHITE YOUNG these are just some of the names I am seeing. In the 136 years of the NY Fire Department's history it lost something like 750 men in the line of duty; in 28 minutes on Sept. 11, 2001 the NYFD lost 343 men. I have been following my ancestors by occupation and in the NYFD the Irish tradition of doing what your father did has resulted in devastating family loss. May history honor all victims of 9/11. As the NYC Mayor said "They were our fathers, our mothers, our daughters and sons. They were our neighbors and friends. They were US." A special thanks to Gander, Newfoundland for its kindness on 9.11.01. >From the NYC descendants of Newfoundland immigrants to the US.
