Marwan al-Shehhi

**Marwan al-Shehhi** came from the United Arab Emirates, where his father was an imam. Interviewed in the United Arab Emirates, Royal Highness Sheikh Abdulla bin Zayed said of al-Shehhi, "He was a normal individual until he went to Germany. It seems when he went to Germany, he met these radical fanatics who have a very different understanding of Islam than we do." In July 2000, he took flying lessons from Huffman Aviation. By December 2000, he receives a pilot license. By January 2001 he begins to train on a 727 simulator, which has controls similar to a Boeing 767.

## September 11, 2001

Al-Shehhi is believed to be the hijacker who flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower on September 11, 2001.

Dennis was a helper and had a huge heart. It was said when the first world trade center attacks happened he helped carry a pregnant woman down 80 flights of stairs.

He is survived by his daughter Alexa, his wife Patti and many other extended family members.
Joshua Rosenblum

**Joshua M. "Rosie" Rosenblum**, 28, Hoboken, N.J., was an assistant trader at Cantor Fitzgerald.

Joshua Rosenblum (Rosie) was a brother of mine at Alpha Epsilon Pi. I heard he was in the towers when the planes hit.
Rosie and I were never close, but I always admired him. Rosie was a big guy, and when we played football, I was the only one who could tackle him. He taught me how to swim past offensive linement, and how to party like a rock star.
It is hard for me to imagine him in a business suit staring out the WTC that morning. I always remembered him as a party animal, living for the moment.

Party hard, Rosie, party hard.

His other hobbies included painting and gardening. He also spoke Italian and German fluently.

Hilda Marcin

**Hilda Marcin** was born on December 11, 1921 in Schwedelbach, Germany. She moved to the United States in 1929 with her family and settled in Irvington, New Jersey. She married Edward in 1943 and had two daughters, Elizabeth and Carole. While living in Irvington, she worked for the Kearny, New Jersey shipyards during WWII where they built battle cruisers. Her husband worked for Kellogs, a defense factory, and later became an Irvington, New Jersey policeman. He died in 1979.

In 1984, Hilda moved from Irvington, New Jersey to Budd Lake, New Jersey. She then worked for the Mount Olive School System for 14 years and retired at age 79 in June 2001. She was a special education instructional aide at Tinc Road School.

On September 11, 2001, Hilda was relocating to Danville, California to live the winter months with her daughter Carole and son-in-law Tom. She had planned to visit Elizabeth and her family the following spring.

Hilda is missed by her family. A close friend testified that "she was a shining light who made everyone smile and gave of herself to others freely and generously. She was a hero to her family long before 9/11, and is now a hero to the world. God Bless her and the heroes of United Flight 93".
Deborah Welsh

**Deborah Jacobs Welsh** was a United Airlines flight attendant. She lived in Hell's Kitchen in New York with her husband, Patrick, and her Dalmatian. Welsh had been a flight attendant for over twenty-five years and had worked for United Airlines for the last four years. Before that she had worked at other airlines including the defunct Eastern Airlines and Kiwi Airlines. She was a member of the choir at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York.

Patrick Welsh, who lived with Deborah on Manhattan's West Side, knows his wife was terrified when the hijackers commandeered Flight 93. "Like anybody would be", he said.

"I know in that horrible takeover, she stepped up. The flag was on the ground and she picked it up and so did the others on the plane", he voiced.

Authorities believe passengers may have attempted to wrest control of the aircraft from the hijackers. Had it not crashed in Pennsylvania, Flight 93 might well have been steered into a national landmark, like the jetliners which crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Patrick Welsh said his wife was not shy about expressing herself and would have said, "what the terrorists thought was a triumphant battle cry from Allah was actually a pathetic whimper of cowardice."

"She wouldn't want a knee-jerk reaction or vigilantism, and I know she would want that expressed," he said.

The couple had spent the evening before the fatal flight at a New York comedy club. "We loved to laugh", he said.

And laughter, it seems, will become Deborah Welsh's legacy.

"When she walked into a room, the party started," said Coral Mary Southam, a friend from Los Angeles.

He said she would want people "to get back to going to movies, to buying hot dogs or a CD".

"But in the big picture, she'd want us to make sure the planes keep going. She loved this industry".

Welsh died at age 49 in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. She was not regularly scheduled to fly this route and had swapped shifts with a co-worker.

Welsh is survived by her husband, Patrick.

## Tributes

When I was based at EWR I flew with Debbie often. We were around the same seniority so we would end up on alot of the same trips. We flew together for an entire month one time and we got to know each other pretty well. What can I say. Debbie is an unforgetable person. Just seeing her would make you light up. She brought so much joy and energy to work with her. She was so giving too. If she found a delicious muffin at some bakery in the city, the next day she would bring in a whole bunch to share with people at work. She was funny, interesting and unique. I think of her often. She is greatly missed. --Debbie Brandewiede

Kevin Williams

**Kevin Michael Williams** was 24 years old. He worked for Sandler O'Neill on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center.

Last year, Kevin M. Williams decided to pop the big question and ask Jillian Volk, his high school sweetheart, to marry him. Mr. Williams, 24, a bond salesman at Sandler O'Neill on the 104th floor of the south tower, took her to Macy's just before Christmas. Together on Santa's lap, he asked. "She had tears of joy," said Dan Williams, his uncle. "Kevin always had a knack to do something a little extra, to make those special occasions something a little extra." Since that day at Macy's, the wedding, scheduled for December, was all Mr. Williams talked about, even at a party in June for his brother's high school graduation. "These were young people in love," his uncle said.

Berry Berenson

**Berry Berenson** (**Berinthia B. Perkins**) (1948 - September 11, 2001) was a model, actress and photographer. She died at age 53 in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on board American Airlines Flight 11. She had been returning from a holiday in Cape Cod to her California home.

She was survived by her two sons, Osgood Perkins, Jr. and Elvis Perkins.

Berry Berenson had an aura that was unique. She was blessed with grace and beauty as well as a wide ranging intelligence. From her photographs one could see that she saw not with her eyes but through her eyes and that the world entered through these eyes that led to her heart and to her immense soul. Her death at a young age was more than tragic. It was an attack on Life itself, the theft of such a promising and uncompleted career. I had the great pleasure of meeting her older sister once in the 70's in London while she was filming and was struck by her beauty and the feline elegance with which she moved---like Rilke's immortal Panther--at once near and remote. She was wearing a dress which gave me some indication of what I judged to be the most beautiful thighs God ever created. I can imagine the loss she feels at her sister's untimely death and can only offer my deeply felt sympathy for her pain as partial assuagement. "Oswald LeWinter" American Poet living in Portugal

Maria Ramirez

**Maria Isabel Ramirez**, 25, New York, N.Y., was an executive secretary at Lanagan Engineering and Environmental Services. She died at the World Trade Center.

Maria was a beautiful young woman loved by all who knew her. She had just gotten engaged on August 11th, exactly a month before. I hurt so much when I actually sit down and think about that day, what must have been going through her mind, sometimes I still hear her calling me to help her. I miss her so much.
She had an infectious smile. People still come up to me and tell me stories about her and her smile. Thank you all for loving and respecting my darling Maria. God Bless You all.
Alfred Marchand

**Alfred G. "Al" Marchand** was a police officer and flight attendant. He had been a police officer in Alamogordo, New Mexico for over 20 years. He retired from that career and started a new one with United Airlines, where he planned to eventually become a pilot.

Friends said he loved travel, flying and meeting people. Fellow church members remembered him as a devout Christian who would pick up children on Wednesdays, when he was not working, and drive them to church. They recalled a man who would drive donations to an orphanage in Ciudad Juárez every three months. A neighbor, Jason Hayes, said that Alfred Marchand once worked Hayes' shift at a local restaurant when Hayes' wife went into labor with their daughter.

Pastor Brian Hurst said Marchand once told a man who had been arrested that the man needed to bring Jesus Christ into his life. "He was a man of faith — he took it to work," Hayes said. "He was the most down-to-earth, nonjudgmental person I've ever known. He'd talk to you like a human being."

Marchand died at age 44 during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks while on board United Airlines Flight 175, where he was serving as a flight attendant.

He was our son-in-law, the closest thing we will ever have to a son, and we loved him, appreciated him, and we miss him terribly. Every day is hard, especially for our daughter, Rebecca, his widow. Our lives are forever changed, in many different ways. But all we can do is keep going, and keep telling everyone what a wonderful, nice, caring, giving person he was. His mother, Irene, died December 12, 2001. Her priest said she died of a broken heart. I believe it. He was her only living child, and she really never stopped crying after September 11. Now they are together. And I am glad for her.

FRANK THOMAS "F.T." AQUILINO

"MADE THE ORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY"

Written by: Tara Chiari (Aquilino)- Sister

**Frank Thomas Aquilino** (F.T.), a 26 year old vice president with Cantor Fitzgerald's TradeSpark Division and the firm's youngest partner, was not supposed to be on the 105th floor on September 11, 2001. He was supposed to be driving to Hartford, CT for a business meeting. But after living a truly magnanimous life, it was confirmed that F.T.'s luck had run out. A business partner had been in contact with F.T. at his desk nearly minutes before the first plane hit the first tower. For a young man who had found his way out of every sticky situation in the past, it just didn't seem possible that F.T. couldn't find his way out of this one.

As someone who approached life fearlessly, his family says F.T. would only leave this world with a big bang. In an event that doesn't make sense, it does make sense that F.T.'s last moment would be part of an historic event.

Although taken from this world at too young an age, the Staten Island resident had accomplished more in his 26 years than most can hope to achieve in a lifetime -- personally and professionally. It seemed there was nothing F.T. could not accomplish, whether making a million dollar deal, planning a fun night out with friends, or developing his online gambling website, UBetWhat.com. He had the personality and charm that made others follow him instinctively. Never afraid to try anything, F.T. had a reputation for making the ordinary, extraordinary.

The first entry in F.T.'s journal perhaps best captures the essence of who he strived to become: "These are ideas, inventions, and thoughts that I have and live every day. My goal is to become the most successful person, first and always with my family and secondly financially." It's the family's blessing that in his short life, F.T. saw his dreams come true.

A scholarship fund has been established at F.T.'s Alma Mater, York College.

He was a bright young guy who loved everybody and would help anyone who needed it. He was the best friend a person could have. We all miss him and so does the world who never knew him. I am sure that till the end frank was helping others instead of helping himself. Frank was a God loving person who would perform acts of kindness to the homeless and forgotten.

We all miss you!!!

Adam White

Growing up in Atlanta, **Adam White** was like an electron zinging through an always-interesting orbit, or maybe several orbits at once. "He was an exhausting child," said his stepmother, Georgia, who joined the family when Adam was 4. And also a charming one, who packed more into his waking hours than anyone she knew.

He loved surprises and drama and being the star of the show. When his high school put on a production of "Amadeus," he landed the role of Mozart, playing all the piano passages himself. He had hundreds of friends, scattered all over the world, and dozens of interests, like mountain climbing and traveling and oratory, into which he poured his heart.

Adult life took him to San Francisco, and then to New York, where Mr. White, 26, was developing an electronic trading program in carbon dioxide for Cantor Fitzgerald. "The bigger the city, the better for him," Mrs. White said. "His brothers used to go and visit him, wherever he was, and say afterwards that they felt like they had been there for a month when it had only been a few days.

"His dad went up to visit him in New York for a weekend last year, and when he got back he had to rest for a couple of days before he could go back to work. Everything was so exciting with Adam."
Joseph Henry

**Joseph P. Henry**, 25, New York, N.Y., was a firefighter with the FDNY. He died at the World Trade Center.
