The Red Bandanna by Tom RinaldiCall Number: 363.37 Rin
One Sunday morning before church, when Welles Crowther was a young boy, his father gave him a red handkerchief for his back pocket. Welles kept it with him that day, and just about every day to come; it became a fixture and his signature. Welles became a volunteer with the local fire department in New York. When the Twin Towers fell, Welles's parents had no idea what happened to him. But eight months after the attacks, Welles's mother read a news account from several survivors who said they and others had been led to safety by a stranger wearing a red bandanna.
