Curator's Comment
Jerome Nedd immigrated with his family to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago as a teenager. After college, he pursued his interest in food at the New York Restaurant School, where he received this medal upon graduation. From there, he became a cook at Windows on the World in the North Tower. His son Jerome Jr. remembers father-and-son chess games and long bike rides.
