A day I will never forget.

I remember 12/21/88 as if it were yesterday. As a close Lowenstein family friend, I'd know Alex since he was 4 year old. They say, life goes on but for a parent who looses a child under any circumstances, the pain never goes away. This series of sculptures displayed as SU will remind all that we must stop these acts of terrorism. That those lost are not forgotten.

I wish I got over to east lake drive to see this beautiful installation. Thank you for helping keep the memories of those we lost alive, Mr. and Mrs. Lowenstein. I hope all is well with you.

As a former Syracuse University Student who will NEVER forget where he was when he first heard of the Pan Am 103 Incident, I wholeheartedly agree that this Sculpture should find it's new home at Syracuse.

I am an alumni(89)having traveled abroad the semster prior and returning home on Pan Am 103 June of 1988. I had many friends studying abroad the following semester and knew only one that had not made it home, Alex Lowenstein. I Had the sincere pleasure of visiting the very moving Dark Elegy exhibit in Montauk and spending time with Suse Lowenstein. We cried, reminisced and laughed together. I cannot think of a more beautiful or meaningful exhibit on the campus of SU than Dark Elergy. To memoralize these families on our extraordinary campus in perpetuity would be a great gift to past current and future SU students. I hope my beloved alma mater will support this endeavor.

My heart broke when we learned of this tragic event. It stays in my mind fresh as the day it happened. My heart and thoughts always stay with the families of those who were killed, especially Alex Lowenstein and his family. This beautifully, raw and intimate sculpture should be were it can be shared.....

Being an SU alumni, class of 1990, I will never forget this tragic day! The impact it made on all of the student body was truly overwhelming! The beautiful friends that we lost will always remain in our thoughts and hearts. I have returned to SU several times since graduating and always look forward to seeing Dark Elegy and the names of all our dear friends . Having this incredible sculpture on this site permanently...will always be a reminder of how fragile life is and how even in great tragedy our community has carried on!!!

This seems like a good idea for a university so students can be made aware of the crazy things that some people do. This awareness might lead them to avoid this behavior or prevent this from happening.

it is an honor to sign this petition and I truly hope it finds a permanent home on the SU campus. I am a Syracuse grad, class of '91, and a friend of both Lucas and Debbie, who is also my sorority sister. I will never forget that moment and the impact it has had on my life. We will never forget.

I was a high school classmate of Alex Lowenstein and have viewed Dark elegy multiple times. I believe Syracuse U is the perfect permanent location for this tribute.
