Day two was by far the best day spent in NYC. After Paggy deceivingly lied to us about her cousin's hair length, and about an hour of waiting, we met Paggy's cousin, Shelley. She was kind enough to ditch school and show us around the sites in downtown Manhattan! Little did we know that Shelley barely knew her way around Manhattan herself...

...was ripped open in the top of the sculpture. They found a bible in there, an airline seat, papers from offices on the top floor. It became its own cemetery."

Fritz Koenig said, "The Sphere was found upright in the rubble after
the attack. It should be placed upright again so that its spirit would
not be corrupted,... |

...I offer my professional services to help to put it up for the families of the victims in the best possible way."
