She Was the One

StoryCorps has won a 71st Annual George Foster Peabody Award for our September 11 audio and animated shorts.

When Richie Pecorella met Karen Juday, she captured his heart and changed his life. They were engaged and living together in Brooklyn when Karen was killed in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, where she worked as an administrative assistant. Here, Richie remembers Karen, his love and inspiration.
