The 9/11 Tribute Museum in Lower Manhattan is preparing to close its doors for good unless it gets financial help due to a sharp decline in visitors and revenue due to the pandemic.
Dennis Smith, a Renaissance man, was the author of “Report From Ground Zero" and many others, starting with "Report from Engine Co. 82." A reformed juvenile delinquent and a veteran, he became a firefighter and stunned the literary establishment when they learned that he was the author of an erudite letter to the editor challenging an argument by Joyce Carol Oates.
“Report from Engine Co. 82” was the first of his 16 books. He also started Firehouse magazine and was the founding chairman of the New York City Fire Museum.
