PRINCE was named for WANDA PRINCE, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Wanda Ivelisse Astol Prince, age 30, Staten Island, New York, a Fiduciary Trust Company International employee, she worked as a foreign trader in World Trade Center Tower Two on the 94th floor, where she reportedly perished in the September 11 attack on America. Although she enjoyed many things, Ms. Prince was a fan of Monday night football and the New York Mets. Fearless, she tried lots of new things, such as scuba diving in Hawaii and salsa dancing in Puerto Rico. Besides the sporting activities, she also enjoyed reading the latest book from Oprah's Book Club and a good cup of coffee. Known as a perfectionist, she never missed a birthday, even though she had quite a large family. She is survived by her husband, Edward; her cat, Lucky; and nine siblings. We salute Ms. Prince, a hero, and name this wonderful dog in her honor.
