National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

Tribute to fallen Society comrades & awardee youth

Greetings,

Not to be too maudlin here on the Collector's Corner, but I feel given this mark of time at 15 years, it is worth a moment to recall these good people, and perhaps some of you remember the Presidents Letter from the Dec. 2001 issue.

See attached scan of "On Assignment" (Dec '01 NGM) for insight, and photo of the 3 students, 3 teachers, and of 2 Society staff who were all on Flight 77.
