Expectant Grandfather
Even people who knew Ronald Orsini for many years have been surprised by what they have learned about him since Sept. 11.

Many people knew that he loved to dance, but not many were aware that he had won many dancing competitions as a boy, or that he had studied ballet.

It's no surprise that the dancing was a surprise to many of his friends. Arlene Orsini, his wife of nearly 30 years, describes him as being "kind of klutzy" when not dancing. "I used to say to him, what would you be like if you hadn't danced ballet."

Mr. Orsini, 59, was a broker at Cantor Fitzgerald for 16 years. He loved numbers and gadgets. But his most exciting project was yet to come. His only daughter was to give birth to her first child, a boy, in September. "He was in such great shape, he was looking forward to doing all kinds of things with this kid," Mrs. Orsini said.

Ronald Orsini's greatest talent, in his wife's eyes, was his unrelenting optimism. "I'm such a pessimist," she said, "and he would always turn to me and say: `Stop worrying about it. It's not that important.' He just amazed me."

I posted one of them on instagram today and it so happens that the visible name on it is "Ronald Orsini". So I googled him. And among other information, I learned he had done ballet. I did that too. It brought tears to my eyes ... and I want to tell you that today, Ronald has touched someone far away - and there is a picture on social media of the...
