The Stephen B. Luce Library extends another invitation to everyone to view the exhibit commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. The exhibit showcases a few personal reflections on what happened on that tragic day. On display are memorabilia donated by Maritime’s own Major General Robert Wolf (Director of Graduate Admissions) who was a first responder to the 9/11 tragedy. You can see Major Wolf's gears still covered by fine particulates, dust, and ash which were created by the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Also on display are the personal photographs of Captain Robert Pouch, then the Director of Board of Commissioners of Pilots of the State of NY, who was a first responder on the rescue efforts by the maritime community in the New York Harbor. These photographs depict Captain Pouch's experiences on that tragic day and he went on to receive the 9/11 First Responders Medal in 2004.
The exhibit is currently on display in the Library’s foyer area.
