Hi Gerald ,
Would you mind taking a look at my 9/11 picture album to see if you or your collegues might recognise any of the fire fighters I photographed at Ground Zero back in 01 when i was working for the New York Post. I am heading to New York in July and would like to make contact with them. Any help with contact details would be greatly appreciated
