dear Suse
I attended high school with Alex at Mendham. I had art class with him as well as several others. Through other circumstances I became friends with Michael Kaplan who knew Alex well from Syracuse. I spend a great deal of time with my children in Montauk. Your work is beautiful and speaks beyond words.

SU was home for our two daughters from1983 to 1989. Our youngest daughter Christine wanted to go to London and couldn't, she would likely have been on that flight. We have been forever grateful she wasn't, while feeling tremendous grief for all those who lost their children. We think SU would be a wonderful home for this moving sculpture, thank you to the Lowenstein family for their generosity and talent.

alex lowenstein was a member of my fraternity, zeta psi. He was an outstanding guy.
A few years after PanAm 103, I heard that his mom's sculpture garden, Dark Elegy, would be on display at the Livingston, NJ Library.
I happened to be visiting relatives in town when I drove by the library, I saw a women working with the sculptures. I pulled over and got out of my car to ask the woman if she was Alex's mom??? She said "Yes", I introduced myself and gave her a big hug. We spoke for about ten minutes, mainly about Alex, and it was a very therapeutic ten minutes, reflecting on her son and our friend Alex.
Dark Elegy is a very powerful sculpture garden. It will serve as a reminder to both the Syracuse University community as well as the world.

If you have never seen this work it is gut wrenching. And this it was to lose Alex and his classmates on that day. By agreeing to house Dark Elegy the University would make a very bold statement. I hope they do.

I lost three friends from SU back in 1988 and have never forgotten. I have walked among the sculptures Suse created and it is something the world needs to share in, including the small world on campus.

I was a Syracuse student about to venture to Spain on a semester abroad program when we learned of flight 103. I knew several of the students who lost their lives. I hope the sculpture finds a permanent home on the SU campus.

I am an SU grad and was on campus the day this occurred. The despair in those who suffered is truly captured in this installation and the University would more adequately bring tribute to those who died and those families who suffered by bringing the installation to campus.

I lost a dear friend Wendy Lincoln. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about her or the tragedy she and all those with her suffered. I do support this all the way.

People I am close to lost someone on that plane, and one of them is the mother (left of center) holding her head in her hands. This was a painstaking labor of love and deserves a place of honor. Had I not had these people in my life, I would not have a clue what it's like to lose someone to an air disaster, let alone one the result of terrorism.

Dark Elegy is compelling. SU is perfect for its permanent home. My niece was an SU student & on PA103.

I am not certain of where the 76 pieces might be permanently located, they tell one significant part of the impact of the flight 103 on the life of our campus, the families directly involved, and the wider public. It seems appropriate for Dark Elegy to find a permanent place at SU
A moving expression of the dark time.
This is a beautiful idea and should be shown.
