Careful Thought

UPDATE:  DNA tests have identified the remains of three more people who died in the attacks on World Trade Center on 11 September 2001, including Douglas Stone. Praise God through whom all blessings flow.

[ORIGINAL POST]  Douglas Stone was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 11 bound from Boston to Los Angeles on 9/11. He died when his flight was hijacked by Muslim terrorists and flown into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Here is his obituary from Publisher’s Weekly:

Douglas Stone, co-owner of the short-run printer Odyssey Press of Dover, N.H., died September 11 when the airplane he was on, American Airlines flight 11, crashed into the World Trade Center. He was 54. Stone began his printing career at Trend Offset Printing in Los Angeles before moving in 1987 to Capital City Press in Montpelier, Vt., as comptroller. He founded Odyssey Press in 1989. A scholarship fund is being established at Dover High School in his memory, and donations may be sent to the Douglas J. Stone Scholarship Fund, c/o Odyssey Press, Crosby Rd., Dover, N.H. 03820.

A native New Englander with a dry sense of humor, Stone graduated from Cal State Long Beach but returned east in the late 1980s after he divorced. On his frequent trips to Los Angeles, he watched Zach, a Fountain Valley High School graduate, compete in track and cross-country. On this trip, he was coming back to see his son off to UCLA.

On that horrific day, 2,996 men, women and children were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists. Never forget. Pray for peace; pray for justice. There are a host of 9/11 memorial sites. One of my favorites is Lux Aeterna, put together by Hokule’a or you can look here for my collection of 9/11 images. Thanks also to DC Roe for putting together the 2996 project.
