BRIGHT was named for GARY L. BRIGHT, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Gary L. Bright, 36, Union City, New Jersey, was employed by AON Consulting as an insurance analyst, where he was working when he lost his life on the 92nd floor of World Trade Center Tower Two. Mr. Bright packed his days. He worked at AON during the day and as a waiter at Spazzio's restaurant at night. He had recently purchased a starter house and was in the process of fixing it up when the terrorists took his life. With a Master's degree in therapy, Mr. Bright gave advice to everyone, even finding time to counsel a child pro bono. Mr. Bright is survived by his parents, Anna and William Bright, and sister, Michelle, in Indiana. We salute Mr. Bright, a hero, and name this pretty dog in his honor.
