2996 tribute to victims of 9/11 - Terrence E Adderley
Before 9/11 the only view I had of the New York City skyline was from the top floor of my home in New Jersey. On any day I could look out the window and see the upper 30 floors of the World Trade Center.
When both buildings disappeared from view that horrible morning, it was as if all of New York City descended into oblivion. Now it happens that I have never seen anyone die. Sure, I've seen videos of car accidents and train wrecks, but I've never actually seen in real time in the real world anyone die - until 9/11.
When the first tower collapsed I said to myself, "Oh my god, those poor people." I did not know a single person who died that day. Until now.
The 2,996 project is a tribute to the victims of 9/11. On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. It was my honor to be assigned Terence E. Adderley, a young man of 22 originally from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Ted, as his family called him, was working for Fred Alger Management on the 93rd floor of World Trade Center North on September 11th. His family last heard from him by email about 4 minutes before the first airplane hit the North Tower.
His family said Ted was very happy. He had his dream job, he had wonderful friends, he was living in his favorite city and he knew he could succeed at anything he tried. I wanted to call his family to find out more about Ted but each time I prepared to do so a wave of uncontrollable sadness overcame me. The horror of that day kept filling my mind. I knew I would be unable to ask his parents about Ted's childhood without breaking down. It was as if Ted were my own son lost that day. What could I say to them? What must they feel every single day without him? And how devastated must it be like in their home every 9/11?
So then my tribute, my memorial to Teddy is to write about the life he could have had. How some of his dreams and hopes might have come to pass if September 11th were just any other ordinary, happy day in America:
The Life Terrence E Adderley could have had:
October 2004: While shopping for a birthday card for his sister Elizabeth, Ted meets his future wife, Allison who works as a fashion designer for an online web company.
June 2005: Ted and Allison marry. The Wedding is filled with many of Ted's friends, some of his Fraternity brothers from College, and of course, his family. Ted and Allison move into a newly built condo on Hudson Street only a ten minute walk from the WTC.
July 2007: Ted is a rising star in the New York financial world. Fred Alger starts a new Health Sciences Information Technology Mutual Fund and names Ted as a Vice President of the new fund. At 27 Ted is one of the youngest VP's at the firm.
August 2009: Allison gives birth to a bouncing William Adderley, named after Ted's grandfather.
January 2021: Ted is named a managing director at Fred Alger. Ted and his wife move into a beautiful home in the Hamptons.
June 2030: William Adderley graduates from Princeton with a degree in Molecular Biology. He plans on post-graduate work. Ted could not be prouder of his son.
May 2041: Ted is extremely successful and happy in his life. He has a loving wife, a beautiful home, a talented and adoring son. Life could not be any better.
Time passes and we come to Christmas day many, many years from now. Ted has his grand-daughter on his knee, his son William is opening presents, his wife taking turkey from the oven, friends and family around the table. A life lived as an American.
Then that moment finally comes to Ted when it must come for all of us, and we can only pray that we will be as happy and fulfilled in our lives as he was in his.
I am an Atheist but on every 9/11 from the deepest part of my heart I say may all the souls who died that day rest in peace and may God Bless America.
I was usually in the WTC three or four times a week in the mornings. I could have easily been sitting across from Terrence during breakfast or grabbing a coffee or even bumped into him in the concourse. When I can distance myself a bit more from that day, I will try to contact Ted's family and update his biography. I am ashamed I do not have the strength to speak to them now.
The 2,996 souls lost that day are now connected to the 2,996 bloggers who have adopted them as new sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, mothers and fathers. They were not alone when they died, they are not alone now.

Rare Sep-11 Clip - video powered by Metacafe
woman honor thyself - N.Y. MemorieS, December 2001 - Excerpt:
It’s been an emotionally wrenching job as well as a long , long one for many of them. Most are working 12 hour shifts which have just recently been reduced from 16 or even 18 hours.Standing on Ground Zero, the Twin Towers are so devastatingly conspicuous by their absence. Your soul just wants to cry out when you witness it….and yet the workers must concentrate on the task at hand; they have to gain mastery over their thoughts with this haunting vision of mangled steel, ruin and smoke before their eyes.
Many seem to be carefully arranging their facial features to hide their emotions as they stand before this dilapidated edifice. Some look at me and wear a sweet, unconcerned smile, which never belies the turbulence in their hearts.
rottweiler puppy - 9/11: So Where Were You?, Excerpt: All we do remember is that he was running toward the second tower in the minutes between the plane hitting it and its collapse. That, and the fact the guy knew he was about to die. There are no words that can describe that kind of courage, that kind of self-sacrifice.

Comments from Old Comment System
- Bernie, A beautiful tribute to a successful life that could have been. This is an interesting and memorable tribute
- I found your link over at Angels: www.womanhonorthyself.blogspot.com I'm glad I did. This is extremely well written and I wouldn't have been able to call the family either; I couldn't do it on my post. It seemed too intrusive. You honored Terance admirably. It's not easy to write about them, even when you don't know them. As you could see the twin towers from your window, you are probably lucky you didn't personally know any of the victims. I have a hard enough time seeing the NY skyline on television without the towers, I can't imagine having them absent from my daily view. May God bless Terrance and may his family and friends find peace.
- God bless you Bernie...
- Bernie - that is a beautiful tribute! You may not believe in God, but He sure did give you an abundance of a talent for expression with the written word (smile). Ted was so young.....
- Whether or not you believe in any God, Bernie, doesn't matter. You believe in America.
- I too found myself overwhelmed with sadness at the thought of contacting the family... Great tribute!!!
- Moving indeed, but I wonder why you suppose he would have had one (only) child that would have had one (only) daughter. Having only one child leads rapidly into extinction.
- "why you suppose he would have had one (only) child that would have had one (only) daughter. " Unfortunately, white Americans only have one child, if that. It is Muslim and Mexican immigrants that have 3.4 children. The same thing is happening in Europe where in 50 years Muslims will be the dominant population, unless they change immigration rules. But we stray. Perhaps we'll pick up this topic in another post.
- A beautiful and moving tribute, Bernie. Don't feel bad about not contacting the family - what matters is that you are involved in the fight in the world against the evil that took Ted away from them. If you have time, please view my tribute to Welles Remy Crowther, age 24.
- Well done. I'm a fellow 2996-er.
- Hiya Bernie...absolutely stunning tribute..and u know what..I don't believe youre an athiest because u have more belief and more care than hundreds of allegedly "religious" people I have come across...thank you so much for your efforts!.. :)
- 22. So young. What a loss. You did a fine job with this tribute. Thank you for linking mine.
- What a teriffic man he was. It is a shame his life ended so quickly and so unjustly. I pray for every family that has one missing or gone from this tragedy. May they rest in peace.
- Beautiful and awesome tribute!! God Bless Ted's Family
- Very nice, well done tribute. I don't know about all the blogrolling, but mine is up also at http://justtug.blogspot.com
- Very good tribute. Thanks for linking my tribute. Peace
- Thank you for this beautiful tribute! May his memory always be a true blessing!
- What a beautiful tribute to this young man! Very well done. Thank youo for linking me.
- "I am ashamed I do not have the strength to speak to them now." - No, that is not a lack of strength; rather it is a sign of your humanity. If we cannot be touched deeply by such a massive, senseless loss, what will touch us? 22 years old? Good Lord! So young, so full of promise. Such a loss. Thanks for this tribute, Bernie. Very different, very moving. Thank you!
- Wonderful tribute. You did an awesome job. mine is up also.
- Wonderful post I was honored to read (thanks for the link that made it possible). This has turned out to be a heartwretching but yet positive experience for me to be able to pay tribute to one of the victims (mine was Thomas F. Swift) and read posts like this about others. Thanks and well done.
- Thank you for this incredibly moving and heartfelt post. This has been a spiritual experience for me. My tribute for Gilbert is posted, please stop by and leave a comment so that others can come here to read.
- Great job Bernie! Thanks.
- Thank you for remembering and honoring Ted. Thanks for stopping by my tribute to Marjorie C. Salamone.
- What a unique way to celebrate this man's life. Very well done. Thank you for helping me to know this man better. I am honoring John A. Hofer (Blogger #339)
- Bernie, that was a lovely tribute. Thinking about "what might have been" for Ted brought me to tears...and not for the first time today. I'm so very glad you stopped by my blog and read about Irina. It is incredible that you and she shared the same country of birth. Thank you for linking here so that others can come and read your beautiful story. (PS Did I do ok on the blessing? I copied it from a webpage and had to *hope* the translation was accurate.) We are so fortunate to be a part of this, aren't we? Bless you.
- Bernie...I'm still trying to send a tb to ya...
- You did a wonderful tribute....I don't think I could have contacted the family either. I remember watching it all happen on TV I stood there watching in disbelief and crying...just crying...what a waste of human life...thank you for remembering him. By the way I found you through "Motherkitty". You have a great blog. A note to all who have participated in this project.....a great big thank you and hugs.....peace be with us all.....
- Yes... we bloggers are now connected to the people we honored. It's breathtaking. Tribute to Christopher Paul Slattery
- Beautiful tribute. You brought Ted Adderley to life for me, and left me just a little sadder on this sad day. My heart goes out to his family. What a sad loss of such a promising young man. Dinah Webster: A Tribute
- What a beautiful tribute to someone who truly had such a good life. He was still so young. Terence is now in my heart.
- I too felt the sadness inside that made it impossible for me to call the family of Stacey Sanders who I paid tribute to. I tried emailing some people who knew her. Some got back to me, others did not. Thank you for your tribute to Ted. And for your participation in this project.
- I'm very touched by your tribute. I couldn't try to talk to someone who knew Chapelle either. Out of respect, I didn't want to disturb their lives.
- What an incredible tribute. I live not very far from Bloomfield Hills Michigan, and so it really touched me, I didn't realize that anyone who had grown up so near here had died on September 11th. Thank you for telling us all about Ted. I have just realized I'm not going to be able to get through a single one of these without crying. Your fellow 2996 blogger, Ro
- Beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I'm happy to be a part of this project. My tribute to Faina can be found on my blog.
- Wow! What a powerful tribute! Thank you for honouring Terence. Thank you for stopping by mine.
- What a beautiful and so moving way to remember Ted. It really brings home all he lost. I remember Brooke David Rosenbaum.
- Wonderfully written tribute!
- Great tribute, Bernie. Well done, and God bless.
- WOW!! I read tributes this morning until I couldn't read anymore. I'm back at it and so glad I found my way to your blog. Your heart was all over what you wrote. I have a feeling this young man would be very proud of what you have written. I'm proud to be part of such a wonderful project! Thank you for sharing him and yourself with us.
- A Very interesting approach to the tributes, I like it...
- Thank you for the link. And this was such a unique way to honor him...I think we all thought of the 'what if's' while we did our research,but you put it so nicely into words.
- This is awesome what you have done. Thank you so much, this is really special. It means a lot to get to know those that we lost. And you did a beautiful tribute.
- Thanks so much for dropping by my place! I will get a link posted back to you later today. Love your tribute and thanks for all the links.
- Thank you for sharing Ted with us all. This is a wonderful tribute! Thanks for the link to my tribute to Thomas E. Sinton III.
- You've written a beautiful tribute. Reading so many tributes has been very hard emotionally, but I was so glad to have participated in the 2,996 project. Thank you for linking my tribute to Sheryl Rosenbaum.
- I made a 3 day tribute to 9/11. Also ended it with my 2,296 project tribute to a wonderful young man Jeffrey B. Gardner. I did my tributes over the weekend. Then on 9/11 & 9/12, I remained silent out of respect & to reflect & pray. Have been reading all the lovely tributes. God bless the many families touched by this tragedy. Blessings, Sugar
- What a beautiful tribute. Ted was so young. Thank you for the links!
- It is very selfish of me, Bernie, but I am so very glad you were not having your coffee in the WTC that morning. I also celebrate all those who would have been there, but for whatever reason were not. These people should not be forgotten. The "survivor's guilt" they live with, at times, must seem so unbearable. I can't imagine.
- Bernie, the tribute you wrote for Terrence E Adderley, was world class. As should be. On a quest to visit all of the blogs of 2,996. I figure anyone who will take a little time to memorialize someone they never met, with dignity like you, That person must have a good blog. So my blog visits are all mapped out.......visit all of the 2,996 blogs. I didn't click off your blog when you took the time after your excellant tribute, to announce (probably again) that you are an athesist. There were muslims, jews, christians, atheists and buddists who perished that horrible day. Your blog is one I'll come back to even though I know God is God, and I am one of His created, I am not a 87th generation removed from primal slime....I was created by a God that is awesome, and real, and one that demands a lot. Again, great writing, and I spent the time to follow all the links. Later.
- Beautiful tribute to a truly special young man. You did a great job!
