Joseph was 49 years old.
Curator's Comment
Thousands of pieces of paper blew into the air, littering the streets below, as windows in the Twin Towers shattered on 9/11. That evening, St. Petersburg Times reporter Tom Drury retrieved some papers near the site. Almost one year later, he traced a signature on what appeared to be a performance evaluation of Joseph Calandrillo, an accountant at Reinsurance Solutions, a Marsh & McLennan subsidiary, 94th floor, North Tower. Drury returned that sheet to Calandrillo’s widow.
