CELEBRATING LIFE — At a PEF reception in New York City in December, survivor Juliette Bergman holds up the battered metal plate from a plaque marking her 20 years of service with the state Transportation Department. It was returned to her a couple of weeks after the WTC collapsed by a state trooper who found it while sifting through the rubble. — Photo by Bill Sachs



Among the other PEF members, families and friends enjoying the reception are: (seated) WTC victim Japhet Aryee’s mother and sister, visiting from Ghana; (standing) Dennis Pierce’s widow; Diane Urban’s sister; Aryee’s son; Division 290 Treasurer Gwen Leverett and Aryee’s widow. — Photo by Olubiyi Sehindemi
