Kathie Baumgardner: 9-11 Memorial Quilt Project

Kathie Baumgardner’s square

Kathie Baumgardner, who organized the project, stitched this square in memory of Mukul Agarwala, who was 37 and worked as a research analyst in the World Trade Center’s south tower. His wife, Rhea Shome, found the project online and wrote to Kathie about him: a gentle, kind man who always had time for other people, and who loved reading, music, old movies and sports.
