Cantor-Fitzgerald Employee, John Salamone

Atlanta – To mark the anniversary of September 11, Oglethorpe University will hold a ceremony that morning in the university's quadrangle. President Larry D. Large will make brief remarks, followed by a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. and then the ringing of bells from Oglethorpe's Lupton Hall. At 4 p.m., Oglethorpe University's soccer team takes on Emory University and the game will be dedicated to John Salamone '86, an Oglethorpe soccer-playing alumnus who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and was killed in the World Trade Center attack. A dedication ceremony will take place with words once again from President Larry D. Large and a moment of silence in memory of all who died.
