Carolina Alumni's video: Alumnus Remembers Lacrosse Teammate Lost on 9 11

Justin Donaton ’99 has never been to the site of the World Trade Center, where his UNC lacrosse teammate Ryan Kohart ’98 died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Even when he occasionally flies into New York, he closes his eyes to avoid taking in the cityscape with the missing towers. “For me, the numbness of what happened on that tragic day dissipates ever so slightly each year, but the sorrow will never go away,” Donaton told those gathered Wednesday morning at the 9/11 Memorial Garden on Stadium Drive . “I still find myself asking why did this happen, why Ryan? I am still sad for Ryan, sad for his family and sad for myself.” Story at https://alumni.unc.edu/carolina-honors-the-legacies-of-alumni-lost-on-9-11
