DAPHNE was named for DAPHNE POULETSOS, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Daphne Pouletsos, age 47, Westwood, New Jersey, seems to be known for her laughter. When doing our research, every tribute we uncovered seemed to mention her happiness and laughter. An employee of Aon Corp., she worked in World Trade Center Tower Two on the 98th floor. Famous among family and friends for her Halloween extravaganzas, Ms. Pouletsos was labeled "the family's social director." We salute Ms. Pouletsos, a hero, and name this happy dog in her honor.
