The Man on the Trapeze
A fantastic athlete he was, but "a gymnast trapeze stuntman he was not," Marc Shapiro recalled about his friend, Scott Weingard. But being the daring sort of person who would squeeze in an adventure whenever he could, Mr. Weingard gladly volunteered to fly with the professional trapeze team while on vacation at a Club Med resort a few years ago.

"There he was, swinging along, doing his thing with his lanky body while we were cheering him on," Mr. Shapiro said, laughing.

Friends began to call Mr. Weingard "First Time Scottie" because he was so often in the position of doing something totally out of the ordinary and new. He was also known for making friends, and keeping them. While still at the resort, Mr. Weingard, a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald who would have been 30 on Sept. 23, disappeared for a while.

Where did he go? "We found him befriending the whole island," recalled Mr. Shapiro, a buddy since their kindergarten days in Dix Hills, on Long Island.

His girlfriend, Julie Kaufmann, called him an angel. His cousin, Jeff Honigstock, interviewed on a recent Thursday, said: "I'm missing him today. It would have been a perfect day for happy hour with Scottie."

9/11 Museum July 25, 2016

9/11 Museum July 25, 2016

I visited the 9/11 museum this year as part of my 50th birthday journey.. I found your name at the reflection pool and took a picture. I found your picture inside the museum and took a picture. Pictures are what w use to capture memories. I want your family to know that others carry their sorrow during this time every 9/11. But I also want them to know I am also inspired by your spirit to live life as you did. May God Bless those who love you...

Never met you but found a silver bracelet in a basket with your name on it. I wear it every year and say a prayer for your family and tell people what little bit I know about you. You must be remembered... We should all be remembered.

God bless your family...

Thinking of Scott today.

We placed a flag, in your honor, at the Run to Remember event, in Sacramento, California yesterday. Yesterday was a day of somber reflection and reminiscing about a day in history that changed all of us. You were in our thoughts.

I remember your life this 9/11/10. We will not forget. My God bless your family and give them peace.
