Duane Crawford USMC retired

It is with the heaviest heart and the most sorrow that I must report to all that Duane Crawford has passed away. This gentleman was  intstrumental in bringing so many flight 11 families together over the years. He has arranged countless details to do with the commemoration services in 2010 and 2012 and has corresponded with so many different people connected with the crash. He tied all the loose ends together and he was someone I considered a great friend and humanitarian. Duane was instrumental in arranging a number of trips to the crash site as well as organising my own trip to the USA in 2012 to attend the 50th anniversary service. The world has lost a truly tremendous person. Without him this blog would never have gone on and Flight 11 would remain forgotten.
