to Creter’s thoughtful collection
of books, plaques, and fire department
memorabilia related to
the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Creter is now a seventh grader at
Berne-Knox-Westerlo school, but
he was living on Long Island at
the time of the attacks. “It was
a frightening time for everyone,”
he says. But, much more so
for those who were so close to
Ground Zero.
