George Willig's Mark on 2 WTC

As we mentioned yesterday, this week marked 32 years since George Willig's climb up the World Trade Center's south tower. When he got up there, he signed his name on a piece of metal on the observation deck, and now a reader has scanned in his photo of it, taken in 1983. We like that Willig even drew the two towers!

    This should go into whatever memorial is being created in the 22nd century.
