We've been discussing this for quite a while, ... We were looking for the appropriate site and appropriate tribute, and we wanted to have it someplace along the waterfront. We wanted it there, not only as a tribute to the victims, but also in honor of all the rescue groups who aided more than 70,000 people who used the ferry as way of a safe exit from New York after the attacks. Those 70,000 people came through Weehawken that day and were aided by volunteers, police, fire, EMS workers. They received medical treatment in our triage centers. Some just needed to get cleaned up and receive water. We distributed water by the thousands that day.

We have thousands and thousands of people in the water every day yet, any given year, three, four attacks. It averages out sometimes. It comes in clusters groups, but if you look at it over the long term, the risk of shark attacks is very very minimal.

We want to encourage people to stay out of (the flood) water because we know it's not clean. … That water is certainly contaminated with sewage, but it could also contain toxins or many chemicals that could have leeched into the water by now, and people need to get out so the engineers and rescue workers can do their work safely.

The inaugural mural is Tom's tribute to the people of New York City. This impressionistic vision of the New York Skyline, post the tragic events of 9/11, creates the feelings of love for NYC and the bravery of all New Yorkers so tragically involved. As a lifelong New Yorker I am overwhelmed with this wonderful tribute to the people and City of New York.

There is no question that clean, affordable drinking water is essential to the health of our global community. But bottled water is not the answer in the developed world, nor does it solve problems for the 1.1 billion people who lack a secure water supply. Improving and expanding existing water treatment and sanitation systems is more likely to provide safe and sustainable sources of water over the long term.

Senator Clinton was out there, making sure that money that was promised to New York for medical monitoring for firefighters, for police officers and all healthcare workers ? all rescue workers and recovery workers ? was not forgotten about.

[The couple not only wanted to honor Hunter, but they also wanted to thank the Lowell police and fire departments for their hand in finding Hunter. Representatives of both departments accepted plaques from the family on behalf of the departments.] You never know how important they are until they are needed, ... We had about 100 people out here searching.

There's going to be a very large park there, much bigger than just the waterfront walkway, ... The garden is already there, so that helps. It was the site of the evacuation center and it has a perfect view of downtown Manhattan from that site. It will honor not those who died and those who worked there, but everyone who came off that ferry that day. It's a beautiful site for a lasting memorial.

Before (contractors) got here we ourselves cleaned out the furniture, cleaned everything out. Everybody just wanted something to do because we were dead in the water, and lying on your bed and crying isn't going to help, so we cleaned up the place ourselves and the janitorial staff came in here and helped us.

We found that decisions are better when people make them collectively in small groups. Also, it's important to get the right people involved, and all the right people aren't always present. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. So we needed a way to do collaboration among distributed people on distributed systems.

[In Washington, thousands of people marched in remembrance of the attacks and in tribute to troops fighting overseas.] I wish we could say ... that we were gathering today to commemorate a danger that had long since past, ... But we cannot. The enemy, though seriously weakened and continuously under pressure, continues to plot attacks, and the danger they pose to the free world is real and present.

I wanted to be ahead after the bikes and I wanted to be the first one in the water, ... I try to get in the water and never see them again. I finished first and I think I had my boat in the water before anyone. Greg said he tipped over and then I was gone.

Once the ferry terminal is moved (about 1,000 yards to the north, where construction is rapidly moving toward completion by early 2006), no one will ever remember that it was a rescue site. That's why we wanted to make sure it was put there.

We were amazed by the people. They worked so hard and they had so little. Things that we take for granted like water or medical care were out of their reach. We just wanted to help.

I wanted to pay tribute to this master storyteller who touched so many people.
