Close to home. (Water Ways).(Brief Article)
While the terrorist attacks affected all of us, the events of Sept. 11 hit especially close to home for at least one member of the aquatics industry.
For more than 12 years, Jane Katz has provided scuba lessons and water-rescue training to hundreds of New York firefighters, police officers and EMTs in her position as professor of physical education and athletics at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.
Katz, a prominent aquatics participant, instructor and author, believes that more than 100 John Jay alumni are among the rescue workers who remain unaccounted for following the attack on the World Trade Center. And two members of her masters swim team perished in the attack.
"These are not just names. I know these people," Katz says. "I live just a couple miles from the epicenter. It's just horrific. It's unspeakable. It affects the tapestry of everyone's life forever."
Katz says this experience has been similar to the loss of her mother a couple of years ago. As she did then, Katz finds inner peace in the water.
