Throughout the summer I set up a booth at various fairs and events
across the state to enlist the aid of youths in creating a mobile of
1001 origami cranes with messages of peace, hope, and friendship. 
Youth volunteers helped me show others how to make the cranes. 
Inside each crane they wrote a short message.  On the underside of the
crane's  wings they wrote their name, age, and hometown. 
A mobile of cranes was constructed as gift from the youth of
my state to the city of New York in memory of those lost on Sept. 11, 2001

On September 11th I delivered it to New York  on my way to the
National Jr. Teen America competition in Connecticut. 
We requested that it be hung at the memorial being
constructed on the former site of the Twin Towers.
