We are writing this letter of introduction on behalf of Gary
Suson, a professional photographer who was enormously supportive
of our members who were working at The World Trade Center site
after September 11th.

We permitted Mr. Suson access to the site and to our members who were
engaged in rescue and recovery operations. He assembled over many months
an extraordinary collection of photographs of the rescue/recovery and other
workers at the site.

We hope that you find these photographs are as special and moving as we
do. In the event that Mr. Suson receives any proceeds for the sale or publication of
these photographs, he has made arrangements to share his earnings with the Widows
and Childrens Fund that we administer on behalf of families of firefighters and fire officers
lost in the line of duty.

We appreciate your attention to Mr. Suson's work."
