Fortunately a snapshot of the the site is kept at the wayback machine.  We are attempting to recreate it here and update with new info.

Roger Burnett at the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico in Roswell New Mexico passes along this:

We moved it to the new Historical Museum Archive Building May of 2006 as stated in the email below. A couple of times someone has laid lilies on the piece of steel on Sept. 11th. I have enclosed a few pictures of the display as it looked in 2006. A few changes have been made, but not any to make a significant difference.

We decided to aquire the steel to pay tribute to not only the policemen and firefighters in New York City, but to our local individuals that lost their lives in the line of duty.

Shorty after 9/11 we had a desaster of our own here in Roswell. A deranged individual set his girlfriends house on fire. In the process he set himself on fire and was rescued by his neighbor who took him into his house and called the fire department and paramedics.

When the paramedics arrived along with the Fire Chief, Louis Jones. Jones was a big man, probably 6’6″, 270-280 lbs. A friendly giant of a man. The man pulled a gun and starting shooting, killing his neighbor, the paramedic and wounding Chief Jones and the neighbors 8 year old son. Jones died a few weeks later from his wound to the head.

Enclosed is a photo of the steel as it sits right now. We plan on putting it in a case with newspaper articles and headlines from New York newspapers and the Roswell newspaper.

Here’s a powerpoint presentation on it.

My name is Wang Hong . I’m a professor at The China Academy of Art Hangzhou, and established the Hangzhou LIJI Institute of Chinese Lacquer Art,

My reason for writing to you is that the artists of China want to give a dedication for the 10th Anniversary of 911. A gesture of our understanding that such an event touches us all. I would like to give you a brief description of what the memorial will be made of and its deep symbolism.

First, the dedication will be a sculpture of the Twin Towers made of lacquer trays upon a black lacquered table(Enclosed are the plans for the dedication). All the trays will be open for the Anniversary to place the rose pedals in.

There will be another table where rose pedals can be placed in a tray anytime of the year.
The material as above mentioned will be traditional Chinese lacquer a 7000 years old medium .The colors will be black and red symbolic of the tragedy of 911. Black: destruction,desolation and loss. Red: the fire and the blood of those who have passed away.

However, these colors in Chinese tradition represent the hope for a brighter future. The Phoenix rising out of the ashes, which has always been the way of America.

Second ,the surface of the project will be polished to a smoothness that will be reminiscent of the touch of skin stirring deep emotions of those lost. So this dedication will be that of a visual and physical interaction.
Finally ,the third interaction will be the placement of rose pedals within the 220 trays. On each tray will be painted roses representing those who have passed away.

The 911deducation will take one year to complete. It will be handcrafted by 30 lacquer artists from the Institute of Chinese Lacquer Art (Hangzhou) including myself and an artist from Alaska USA ,Kathy Matta, who has been researching Chinese lacquer art for 11 years.
We hope you find an interest in this project we await in great anticipation for you reply.
Yours Sincerely;
Professor Wang Hong
