9-11 Memorial Dedication14 — Former township resident Hopeton Richards kneels before the plaque in memory of his late wife, Vanesha, who was killed in the Sept. 11 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

Hopeton Richards knelt down before the plaque mounted on a boulder and said a few words to the teenaged girl standing next to him before photographing the plaque with his cell phone.
