A legacy of Flight 93 : You Can Do It!, by and for Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas

The sisters of one of the passengers who died on United Flight 93, Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, finished a book that Lauren had started. I posted on the book You Can Do It!, back in April. Or, more specifically, I linked to this National Review Online column by Myrna Blyth, which has background on the book and a link to The Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas Foundation, set up to carry on work that was important to her.

The write-up at Barnes & Noble has more on her and the book. Click book cover to reach that page.

The Discovery Channel has an honor roll of passengers and crew of the flight. Click through for pictures and thumbnail sketches of who they were and why they were on the flight. Grandcolas, for instance, was returning home from her grandmother's funeral.

Update: Arthur Chrenkoff highly recommends the film.

Lauren was a lovely, energetic, intelligent, well-organized, can-do kind of gal. It's great to see that something that was near and dear to her heart will live on after her.
