911 Pavillion at Tewksbury Library Honors 2 Residents
Townonline reports a fundraising drive is underway to build a memorial at the intersection of Main and Chandler streets in front of the Tewksbury Public Library. The memorial will honor resident Peter Gay and Peter Hashen who died on 911. They were on American Airlines Flight 11 which crashed into the North Tower. The pavilion will stand 13 feet high and 12 feet wide. Around the structure will be sidewalks made up of 6,000 bricks, 3,000 with the names of the victims inscribed and 3,000 fillers.
