Today we remember the six UNC alumni lost in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001: Karleton Fyfe ’92, Mary Lou Hague ’96, Andrew King ’83, Ryan Kohart ’98, Dora Menchaca ’78 (MSPH) and Christopher Quackenbush ’79. Each year on the anniversary, the GAA places flowers at the 9/11 Memorial Garden on Stadium Drive between 8:46 and 9:03 a.m., the times when hijacked planes struck the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. During this current difficult period, we reflect on that tragedy, steadfast in our remembrance of that time, of this place and of the lives of the alumni and thousands of others cut short.
