HOUSTON was named for OFFICER UHURU G. HOUSTON, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Uhuru ("Gonja") Houston, 44, Englewood, New Jersey, also known as Bee, was a Port Authority policeman. Officer Houston is survived by his wife, Sonya; two small children, Hasani and Hannah; mother; and other family members. He was at his assigned duty post in the World Trade Center on September 11. We salute Officer Houston, a hero, and name this gorgeous Siberian in his honor.
