Dunlevy Milbank Golf Outing

Remembering September 11, 2001

The Duke Alumni Association marks the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001 this weekend and remembers all those whose lives were taken, in particular the six Duke graduates:

J. Robinson “Rob” Lenoir ’84	A. Todd Rancke ’81
Peter Ortale ’87	Frederick C. Rimmele III M.D. ’94
Christopher Todd Pittman ’93	Michael Morgan Taylor ’81

Our thoughts are with their families as we reflect on that terrible day. The DAA will acknowledge the anniversary of September 11 with a memorial in The Chronicle on Friday, by placing wreaths in front of Duke Chapel, and by participating in a special Chapel service on Sunday morning.

The university also has organized a series of programs and tributes related to September 11.

The Duke Alumni Association family grieves with alumni around the world as we remember the morning of September 11, 2001.
