Spirit Rock 911 Memorial at Blake School in Duluth
Thursday, March 24th, 2005
The Blake School in Duluth built a memorial stadium in 2002 in honor of Gordy Aamoth, Jr., who was killed in the attack. The south of the stadium is focused around “Spirit Rock,” a monumental stone split by a piece of structural steel that was once a part of the south tower of the World Trade Center where Gordy worked.

Paving stones, equal in number to those who died in this tragedy, spiral out from “Spirit Rock” to create the plaza.
