As with many Americans alike, I was devastated when I learned of the attacks on America on Sept. 11. But I would not really feel the full effects until a couple of days later when I came to find out that one of my friends from high school (Sanford School, Wilmington, DE), was in the WTC. Initially, Davis "Deeg" Sezna, was reported as missing. But as the days progressed, things didn't look too good. He worked for Sandler O'Neill, and he had recently just gotten the job.
When Deeg's body hadn't been recovered, his family decided to have a memorial service in his honor. This was a sad event as my high school was a close knit school. Most of the people from our class were in attendance, as were many other people whose lives Deeg touched.
Deeg was a son, brother, and friend, and we will never forget the impact that he had on our lives!
