Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
NEW YORK, March 18 (UPI) -- Four U.S. senators reportedly have called on the FBI to return a Tiffany globe to the mother of a 9/11 victim who owned it.
The $350 engraved-crystal globe was taken from the rubble of the twin towers destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on New York. The globe wound up on the desk of an FBI secretary who got it from an agent.
Adele Milanowycz of Cranford, N.J., says globe belonged to her son, Gregory, 25, who worked at Aon Corp. Her son kept the gift from his girlfriend on his desk.
A letter from New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton and New Jersey Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Jon Corzine, to be sent Thursday to Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director John Mueller, also demands the return of "every other souvenir that FBI agents took from the rubble of Ground Zero," the New York Post said, quoting officials.
