'The Man in the Red Bandana'

By Jefferson H. Crowther

Please excuse these ramblings of a proud, old father who
lost one the brightest lights in his life. This light was my dear, dear
son, Welles  Remy Crowther, who at age 24 was killed when the South Tower
of the World Trade Center collapsed on him and so many other
innocent victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Welles was an
equities trader with Sandler-O'Neill and Partners working on the
104th floor of WTC2. He was also a volunteer firefighter and member of
Empire Hook & Ladder Co. #1 in Upper Nyack, NY. Somehow he made his way to
the 78th floor Sky Lobby after the plane had impacted his building,
and there he found a group of people who were afraid to move. They had
huddled together and were waiting for the rescue workers to get to
them. They felt if they moved around they might fall through a hole in
the floor and be lost as the visibility was almost nil due to the dust
and smoke.. There were many injured people around them,
screaming with pain, unable to extract themselves from under the slabs of
marble that lined the hallways that had them trapped. My son, Welles,
wearing a red bandanna (which he always carried in his back pocket) to
protect  himself from the dust and smoke, found them and told them
that he knew where the only open stairway was and if they could walk they
should get up now, help those whom they could, but that there were
people they could not help and that they had to go right away. His
words as quoted to us by some of the individuals who were there and
survived were "follow me, I know the way". Welles made
three trips from the 78th floor down to the 61st floor where the lights were
still on and the air was clearer. He told them to keep going down the
stairs, but he kept going back up to escort more people down. In all we
have confirmed three trips he made between the floors before he
went all the way down to the lobby. He was in the lobby ready to go
back up with a fire lieutenant and two other firefighters with the
tools necessary to lift some of the heavy debris in order to
rescue more victims. But the building did not stand and we lost our
beautiful son who cared more for others than for his own life.

There is so much more I could tell you about him, and you
can read about Welles at CrowtherTrust.org<http://CrowtherTrust.org>., a website for the Welles
Remy Crowther Charitable Trust, a charity we set up in his memory
as a memorial to a young man who saw his duty and did it. You can
also Google "the man in the red bandanna".

People tell us that we raised our son too well. I respond
that he was born with the software installed. The good Lord put Welles
on this earth knowing that he would have to call on him.
Unfortunately, it was just 24 years into so promising a life.

But, we started The Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust to
bring some good out of a terrible tragedy. Through it we have been
able to work with many other agencies by making grants and gifts to
help young  people become exemplary adults, whether for educational,
health related, or recreational needs. Again, I refer you to our
website to find out more about the incredible work we have
accomplished. And this proud, old father thanks you for having read about a true
civilian hero of 9/11/01. May God bless America.
