Curator's Comment
A property insurance underwriter for Zurich Financial Services who lived in Brooklyn, Kathleen Moran played her first game of golf while on a business trip. Enthusiasm for the game led Kathleen to play on weekends and while entertaining clients who also enjoyed the sport. On September 11, 2001, Kathleen was meeting with a client at Aon Corporation’s World Trade Center offices. After the attacks, these golf balls were found in her jewelry box at home, alongside other keepsakes.
