LANCE was named for LANCE RICHARD TUMULTY, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Lance Tumulty, age 32, Bridgewater, New Jersey, was employed as a distressed trading manager with Euro Brokers Inc. and reportedly lost his life at the World Trade Center, where he worked on the 84th floor of the south tower. A popular man, Mr. Tumulty was the type of person who always lent a helping hand. Once you met him, it seemed like you knew him forever. He was a hands-on dad with his daughter's kindergarten. Although his first priority was devotion to his family and friends, his hobbies were hunting, motorcycle riding, and home improvement. Mr. Tumulty leaves behind his wife, Cynthia; and two young daughters, Sara and Caroline. We salute Mr. Tumulty, a hero, and name this handsome Siberian Husky in his honor.
