From your colleague Kathleen Steiger, a summary of an article on the garden at the 9/11 Memorial:
“Today’s ArtDaily Newsletter had a great article about the new GARDEN at the 9/11 Memorial in NYC. I have included a Word Doc (only 2 pages long as opposed to the 5 page one) but it does include a photo.
Since The Submission (one of our Fall Books for tours) concerns this topic I thought we should have it available for the docents who get assigned for this tour.”
