Judge's comments
"Unforgettable images of a day one will always remember.
Captures both
the destruction and terror of that day. Great Job!"
Concerning The Villager Newspaper over-all
"The Villager's all-around in-depth coverage of the events
of Sept. 11 and in the weeks and months following the tragedy is
clearly outstanding. The Photography and tenor of the coverage is
intelligent, emotional and compelling. This is a publication that
heard and then reported the horrific cries of its community."
