HANSON was named for CHRISTINE LEE HANSON, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Christine Lee Hanson, age 2, Groton, Massachusetts, was traveling with her parents, Peter and Sue Kim, aboard United Flight 175 when she lost her life. An only child, Christine was traveling with her parents to visit relatives in California. Called as spirited as her parents, this very young lady was looking forward to her first trip to Disneyland. The youngest victim of September 11, before she got that chance to see Disneyland or even begin to grow up, her life was snatched from her in a horrible manner. Little Christine attended Knowledge Beginnings in Chelmsford, Mass. We salute Miss Hanson, a hero, and name this gorgeous young boy in her honor.
