Interview transcript
AK: We used to call her pigeon because she was small and she had the blonde hair and the blue eyes. I mean, she was really cute!
DF: And she was a neat dresser. She used to know how to put colors together and she knew jewelry from head to foot, from A to Z, you know?
AK: Yeah.
DF: Anything that went into her hands she made it artistic and…She worked on the 94th FL. She would go to work early in the morning and when the sun came up she would take pictures of the colors of the sun, the pink, yellow, orange. She also said that being up so high, sometimes the clouds would come right up to her window.
AK: I think the thing about losing her is that, I never expected to lose her at this point in our lives. All of a sudden in my early 50s I became an only child.
DF: There are times when I go outside and I see somebody with long blonde hair that might be he–
AK: Yeah.
DF: –you know. Uh, it’s a continuous heartache. And when I used to close my eyes I would have the two towers, one in each eye, and I could never close my eyes because I would see those twin towers.
AK: I know…
DF: And it took me months before that picture went off my mind.
