Dear Uniformed Firefighterís Association of New York City:

We would like to express our sincere sorrow over the tragedy your City and your Department have endured. Words are inadequate to say what each of us feels for all of you and for the families of the fallen firefighters.

Since we could not come to New York and stand side by side with you, we ask you accept, on our behalf, the enclosed check in the amount of $9,710.27 representing donations from the University of California community of students, staff, faculty, and firefighters along with local residents. Please use it for your widows and childrenís fund.

Your Brothers and Sisters,

Michael Quinton
Captain
