Congratulations to Ms. Annie Thoms, who not only moderated the Stuyvesant Community Discussion on commemorating 20 years since 9/11 last week with the Alumni Association, but she was also interviewed by NY1!. The story came out a couple of days ago, and Jillian Jorgensen did a beautiful job putting it together, and even found some NY1 footage of the original production: Here is the link to enjoy:
