A Circle of Life
How to fathom the circuitous and horrifying symmetry of the twin towers in the story of Andrew Stern, a Cantor Fitzgerald broker.
"Our lives started together in the World Trade Center and now they have ended with it," said his wife, Katie. The couple met there in 1986. That was at Dean Witter Reynolds, as it was then called, when it was in 2 World Trade Center. He was a trader. She was a sales assistant. "I didn't really know him well," she said. "We met at the copy machine."
Hindsight reveals how perceptibly, but inevitably, photocopying led to dating, and marriage, and children — Danny is 7, Emma is 4 — "and as the years went by, I fell in love with him more and more," Katie said. They both moved on, and out, of the trade center, but Andrew returned — this time to 1 World Trade Center — to be a broker in Cantor Fitzgerald's municipal bond department on the 104th floor.
And so it happened that last Saturday they drove in from Bellmore, N.Y., to attend a Manhattan wedding, and stayed overnight in the Roosevelt Hotel. "I'm so glad to have a memory of that romantic evening," Katie said. But when they left on that beautiful Sunday morning, they walked down Fifth Avenue toward Pennsylvania Station, "and we could both see the trade center, right there before us."

I worked with Andy at Murphy and Durieu and I remember him fondly. He was a wonderful person and very devoted to his wife and kids, he spoke of them everyday. It saddens me he did not get to see his kids grow up. I think of him often, God bless.

I did not know Andrew or any of the other victims of 9/11. On the 10th anniversary, my church held a town-wide tribute to everyday heros in our community and in the military, and we also remembered and paid respect to all those who lost their lives. For part of the program, small blue glow sticks were passed out to everyone, one for each victim, and each one had someone's name printed on it, and where they had died. I got Andrew's stick. The lights were turned off and everyone lit up...

I was lucky enough to have Emma in my third grade class. What a special girl! Not a day went by that I didn't look into her eyes and think, "your daddy would be so proud!" Peace and Happiness from now on to you all!

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.
