Welles kept it with him that day, and just about every day to come; it became a fixture and his signature. Welles became a volunteer with the local fire department in New York. When the Twin Towers fell, Welles's parents had no idea what happened to him. In the unbearable days that followed, they came to accept that he would never come home. But the mystery of his final hours persisted. Eight months after the attacks, however, Welles's mother read a news account from several survivors, badly hurt on the 78th floor of the South Tower, who said they and others had been led to safety by a stranger, carrying a woman on his back, down nearly twenty flights of stairs. After leading them down, the young man turned around. "I'm going back up," was all he said. The survivors didn't know his name, but despite the smoke and panic, one of them remembered a single detail clearly: the man was wearing a red bandanna.--|cadapted from book jacket. 600 10 Crowther, Welles. 610 20 World Trade Center (New York, N.Y. : 1970-2001) 650 0 September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001|vBiography. 650 0 Heroes|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. 650 0 Rescue work|vBiography. 650 0 Courage. 650 0 Victims of terrorism|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vBiography. 650 0 Volunteer fire fighters. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 BODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Inspiration & Personal Growth. |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIEN.|2bisacsh 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 914 MID.b24830410 914 FARM239055 994 C0|bWHP
