The College will pay tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and celebrate the spirit of the Union community in a ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Library Plaza, the green east of the Nott Memorial.
All members, friends and family of the Union College community are invited.
President Roger Hull will offer brief remarks followed by a candlelight reflection – in which participants will encircle the Nott Memorial – and the playing of “Taps,” the bugle call composed by Daniel Butterfield, Class of 1849, who rose to the rank of major general in the Union Army.
Losses to the Union family from the attacks included: Thomas Duffy '71; Andrew Fredericks '83; Peter Freund '77; Donald Kauth '74; Alexander Steinman '91; Christopher Quackenbush, husband of Traci S. Quackenbush '80; Timothy Haviland, brother of David Haviland '83; Arlene Fried, mother of Allison Fried '02; and James Patrick, brother of Kevin Patrick, former assistant hockey coach.
