We must remember all of the victims and remember them as they were in life. <br /><br />A couple of years ago, I found a site with photos and names and stories about all of the victims from the twin towers. I went through every name trying find anyone with a Swedish name or Swedish connection, since my blog is based in Sweden, and has not been given as much attention as more local catastrophies such as the sinking of the Baltic ferry, Estonia (in which approximately 700 people perished. (I may remember incorrectly. I am not taking the time to check those figures).<br /><br />From the twin tower list, I found two Swedish men working in the towers, who did not make it out. And as I was looking for Swedish names I saw the name 'Stark', which can be a Swedish name, but does not necessarily have to be that. But it doesn't matter. His story is worth mentioning anyway. He was a young New York fire fighter, who died with many other firemen and policemen in the basement under the towers.<br /><br />His girl friend described him as being such a kind person. He would do anything for her. She said of him: "He was a boyfriend sent from 'Boyfriend-Heaven'!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712353207460785993.post-78500613877881981322015-10-07T18:26:31.782+02:002015-10-07T18:26:31.782+02:00I love the actresses you picked to play you!
