Rick Rescorla
Our friend and comrade Rick Rescorla (pictured above)
was head of security for Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center and was killed
when Tower 2 collapsed - -
How sad.
I'd seen that photo of Rescorla for YEARS...it surfaced on every Memorial Day, June 6th,
July 4th, or other major holiday when the "Honor the Military" theme would arise.
And I hadn't a clue who he was.
So, as a long-time OK, I bump for Rescorla: as he earned both a bachelor's degree and
law degree at the University of Oklahoma on the G.I.Bill ...after he became a
modern-day legend in Vietnam.
Rescorala, who came to our shores from the United Kingdom, was just about
a one-man argument for keeping "the golden door" open, even if we're more cautious
after 9-11.
