GAA Service to Honor Alumni Lost on 9/11

Posted on Sept. 9, 2019

The UNC General Alumni Association on Wednesday will hold its annual memorial service for the six alumni who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial Garden on Stadium Drive near the George Watts Hill Alumni Center takes place each Sept. 11 between 8:46 and 9:03 a.m., the times when the hijacked planes hit the two World Trade Center towers.

The event is open to the public.

The memorial — a gift from the class of 2005, which had just entered UNC when the tragedy took place — is framed by a rectangle of low stone walls with a plaque bearing the names of the lost alumni: Karleton Fyfe ’92, Mary Lou Hague ’96, Andrew King ’83, Ryan Kohart ’98, Dora Menchaca ’78 (MSPH) and Christopher Quackenbush ’79.
